Curl’s Flaw Fallout: More Like a Kitten’s Roar than a Lion’s Rampage in Cybersecurity Jungle

Curl 8.4.0 Security Vulnerability: The Apocalypse That Wasn’t. This ‘worst security problem in a long time’ was more fluff than fury, more kitten than lion. Exploiting it resembles threading a needle in a hurricane. Hardly a stroll in the park, but not the cataclysm we feared. So, breathe easy folks, the cybersecurity sky isn’t falling… yet.
