CVE-2026-80255 PUBLISHED CVSS 7.5 HIGH

Reported by curl · Published September 6, 2026

A `Set-Cookie:` header using tab (horizontal tab, ASCII code 9) instead of space (ascii code 32) immediately before the `Secure` attribute causes curl to store the cookie without its Secure flag. The cookie might then wrongfully be sent over plaintext HTTP on subsequent requests to the same host.
