CVE-2026-8932 is a libcurl connection reuse flaw in mutual TLS (mTLS) handling. libcurl maintains a connection pool and reuses previously established connections when a new transfer's configuration is considered a match. In affected versions, the connection matching logic omitted some mTLS-related settings tied to client authentication, particularly options related to the client private key. As a result, libcurl could incorrectly treat a previously authenticated connection as reusable even after an application changed the client certificate or private key configuration. This could cause a subsequent request to be sent over a connection authenticated with the prior client identity instead of forcing a new connection with the updated credentials. The issue affects libcurl-based applications, not the curl command-line tool. Affected versions are 7.7 through 8.20.0 inclusive; fixed in 8.21.0.

A libcurl vulnerability involving improper reuse of mTLS connections, where connection-pool matching failed to account for all client certificate and private key parameters, potentially causing requests to be sent over a connection authenticated as a previous client.
An authentication bypass vulnerability in libcurl where an existing connection may be reused after client certificate or private key settings change.
