CVE-2026-33752

curl_cffi is the a Python binding for curl.

Published Apr 6, 2026 · corrected/updated Jun 17, 2026 · lexiforest curl cffi · evidence confidence medium

curl_cffi is the a Python binding for curl. Prior to 0.15.0, curl_cffi does not restrict requests to internal IP ranges, and follows redirects automatically via the underlying libcurl. Because of this, an attacker-controlled URL can redirect requests to internal services such as cloud metadata endpoints. In addition, curl_cffi’s TLS impersonation feature can make these requests appear as legitimate browser traffic, which may bypass certain network controls. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.15.0.
