CVE-2026-92390 is a file-overwrite protection bypass in curl's -J output-file handling. An HTTP 103 Early Hints response can bypass the no-clobber protection intended to prevent overwriting existing files when using server-suggested output filenames. A malicious server can exploit this behavior to cause an existing output file to be overwritten. The vulnerability is rated low severity by the curl project and is fixed in curl 8.23.0.
