CVE-2025-14524 is a credential exposure vulnerability in curl and libcurl in which an OAuth2 bearer token used for an HTTP or HTTPS transfer can be incorrectly forwarded during a cross-protocol redirect. When a request follows a redirect from HTTP(S) to a URL using IMAP, LDAP, POP3, or SMTP, curl may pass the bearer token to the redirected target host instead of confining it to the original HTTP(S) context. The issue affects curl versions 7.33.0 through 8.17.0 and impacts both the curl command-line tool and applications that use libcurl. The flaw is classified as insufficiently protected credentials because authentication material can be disclosed to an unintended endpoint during redirect handling.
