Yeah. Uhh.. system updaters and... (checks notes) a lot of software (most? based on how many hardware devices list curl in the licenses...) that implement an HTTP/HTTPS client to retrieve data (like streaming content, data for apps, etc.) rely upon curl. Sigh.

I'm sure the vendors will release updates quickly, right?

Maybe there is a curl.js library that works completely undetected in many web apps? 🤔🤷
