CVE PROGRAM SOURCE RECORD8.1 High

CVE-2026-86409

stale SigV4 headers sent unintended

Description

Setting `CURLOPT_AWS_SIGV4` to NULL but does not disable SigV4 authentication, contrary to expectations and documentation. A subsequent transfer on the same handle still sends an `Authorization: AWS4-HMAC-SHA256` header to whatever URL isset next, leaking state information.
