connection reuse ignores TLS requirement
CVE-2026-4873 is fixed in 7 products on 1 platform, first by curl 8.18.0-1ubuntu2.1, released April 29, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
A vulnerability exists where a connection requiring TLS incorrectly reuses an existing unencrypted connection from the same connection pool. If an initial transfer is made in clear-text (via IMAP, SMTP, or POP3), a subsequent request to that same host bypasses the TLS requirement and instead transmit data unencrypted.
