Hot Take:

Well, well, well, look what we have here. An old friend, Curl, has been caught with its security trousers down. Two nasty vulnerabilities were found having a party in the Curl data transfer library. The worst of them, according to the lead developer, is the "worst Curl security flaw in a long time". If that doesn't send chills down your spine, you might be a robot. Remember, keep your software updated, and never trust a SOCKS5 proxy with a long hostname.
