CVE-2026-86412high8.1

server-set cookie erases cookie jar

Impact

A remote HTTP server can set a cookie that curl accepts and writes to a Netscape cookie jar but cannot reload. On the next invocation using the same path for --cookie and --cookie-jar, curl fails before connecting, then the cleanup procedure replaces the jar with an empty file, deleting cookies for unrelated domains.
