CVE-2022-27779 — libcurl wrongly allows cookies to be set for Top Level Domains (TLDs) if thehost name is provided...

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Haxx Curl, Netapp Clustered Data Ontap, Netapp H300s Firmware…).
2. The attack is network-based and needs no privileges: restrict exposure (ACLs, VPN, WAF) until patched.
3. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
4. Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (info disclosure), errors and authentication anomalies.

Affected scope

Vendor, product and versions as the sources word them.

Attack characteristics

The CVSS vector, decoded. It describes the attack, not your exposure to it.

Detection

Read off the CVSS vector and the weakness class. Starting points, not tested rules.

• Prioritize edge telemetry for the network-reachable component (proxy, WAF, IDS/IPS).
• Look for anomalous data read/export volumes and access to sensitive records.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2022-27779 is "libcurl wrongly allows cookies to be set for Top Level Domains (TLDs) if thehost name is provided...", rated Medium. It affects Curl (Haxx); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 5.3 describes technical severity. EPSS 2.73% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
