CURL-CVE-2026-8926

password leak with netrc and user in URL

When asking curl to use a .netrc file to find credentials and at the same

time specifying a URL with a username (without a password), like

https://user@example.com/, curl could wrongly get and use the password for

another user set in the .netrc file for that host if such a one exists and

there is no match for the specified user.
