Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Credential Leak: The bundled curl dependency was vulnerable to leaking sensitive credentials during HTTP redirects, risking exposure of authentication headers to untrusted third parties.

Multiple Vulnerabilities: Bundled curl versions prior to 7.83.1 contained multiple vulnerabilities (CVE-2022-27778 through CVE-2022-27782, and CVE-2022-30115) affecting connection reuse and state isolation.

Denial of Service: Aggregated vulnerabilities in older bundled curl versions (such as CVE-2022-32205, CVE-2022-32206, and CVE-2022-35252) allowed remote attackers to trigger resource exhaustion or application crashes.
