Official Description

When an OAuth2 bearer token is used for an HTTP(S) transfer, and that transfer

performs a redirect to a second URL, curl could leak that token to the second

hostname under some circumstances.

If the hostname that the first request is redirected to has information in the

used .netrc file, with either of the `machine` or `default` keywords, curl

would pass on the bearer token set for the first host also to the second one.
