CVE-2026-86413 is a credential-disclosure vulnerability in curl's handling of Negotiate authentication across redirects. When an initial transfer uses ambient user credentials for Negotiate authentication and curl is configured to follow redirects, authentication information can be forwarded to an unrelated second origin. This violates the authentication boundary between origins and exposes credential details to an unintended recipient. The vulnerability affects curl versions earlier than 8.23.0; the precise version in which it was introduced is not established.
