CVE-2026-9080
Calling `curl_easy_pause()` within the event-based `CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION` callback triggers a use-after-free vulnerability, where libcurl attempts to store a flag using a dangling struct pointer immediately after that pointer's memory has been freed.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L
- Puntuación base: 7.3
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.49%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 40
- Fecha de la puntuación: 4/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1190Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access85 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution75 %
AV:N/PR:N/UI:N indica explotación remota sin privilegios (T1190). Use-after-free en libcurl puede permitir ejecución de código arbitrario (T1059) si el atacante controla la entrada de datos en la aplicación cliente vulnerable.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
