FAQ

According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N) and the user interaction is required (UI:R). What is the target context of the remote code execution? This attack requires a client to connect to a malicious server, and that could allow the attacker to gain code execution on the client. How does this vulnerability in curl affect Windows? While the upstream advisory applies to curl, the command line tool, and libcurl as embedded in all manner of software, Windows does not ship libcurl but only ships the curl command line. This vulnerability requires user interaction to select the server and to communicate with it.
