Libsoup: information disclosure in libsoup via soupauthmanager proxy credential leak on proxy switch

Published Jul 21, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 3.4 Low EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
SoupAuthManager caches proxy authentication credentials without scoping them to the proxy authority (host:port). When the proxy configuration changes (e.g., via system settings or WPAD), cached Proxy-Authorization headers from the previous proxy are sent to the new proxy, leaking credentials.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

If changing desktop proxy settings, close any applications using libsoup, then restart the application after the setting has been changed.
