Summary
invalid URL parsing with '#'
Details

curl does not parse the authority component of the URL correctly when the host name part ends with a hash (#) character, and could instead be tricked into connecting to a different host. This may have security implications if you for example use a URL parser that follows the RFC to check for allowed domains before using curl to request them.

Passing in http://example.com#@evil.com/x.txt would wrongly make curl send a request to evil.com while your browser would connect to example.com given the same URL.

The problem exists for most protocol schemes.
