This vulnerability occurs when a server presents a host key\ntype that does not match the specific key type already recorded for that host\nin the `known_hosts` file. Instead of rejecting the mismatch, the callback\nmechanism fails to properly enforce the restriction, allowing the connection\nto succeed without warning and risking a potential man-in-the-middle attack.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","score":7.4},"cwes":["CWE-297"],"references":["https://curl.se/docs/CVE-2026-9547.html","https://curl.se/docs/CVE-2026-9547.json","https://hackerone.com/reports/3751712","https://hackerone.com/reports/3751712"],"products":["haxx:curl"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:42:16.820116992+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-9547","score":0.00361,"percentile":0.29949,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
