CVE-2026-66339 Libsoup: libsoup: proxy credentials leak to destination server via proxy-authorization header in connect tunnels

Description

A flaw was found in libsoup. After a CONNECT tunnel is established through an HTTP proxy, libsoup incorrectly attaches the Proxy-Authorization header to subsequent HTTPS requests sent through that tunnel to the destination server. This allows the destination server to capture proxy credentials, leading to information disclosure.
