The curl project released version 8.23.0 on October 14, 2026, fixing an HTTP/2 upload flaw. curl says the flaw can allow remote code execution under specific conditions. Tracked as CVE-2026-92392 and rated High by curl, it affects libcurl and the command-line tool. Certain server-sent stream reset messages during an upload can cause curl to use a freed object. Maintainer Daniel Stenberg said successful exploitation in the wild would be extremely difficult and a crash more likely. The release includes 24 security fixes, according to Stenberg’s release announcement. Sources: Daniel Stenberg, curl

Why it matters

Developers should check the libcurl versions their applications load, including bundled copies and container images. Prioritize affected applications uploading over HTTP/2 to potentially attacker-controlled endpoints. Upgrade to 8.23.0. [2] Exploitation in the wild has not been established.

GitHub previews dependency lockfiles for Actions workflows

GitHub Actions workflow dependency lockfiles are in public preview for Free, Team, Enterprise Cloud, and Enterprise Cloud with data residency. According to GitHub, the gh actions-lock extension generates .github/workflows/actions.lock to pin action dependencies to exact commits. These dependencies include transitive actions and reusable workflow references. Teams can adopt locking one workflow at a time. Dependencies inside a reusable workflow use the lockfile in the repository that defines that workflow.
