Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for libsoup3.

CVE-2026-66338[0]:
| A flaw was found in libsoup. The chunked transfer encoding parser
| uses a permissive parsing function for chunk sizes that silently
| accepts inputs violating RFC 9112, including leading whitespace,
| plus sign prefixes, and trailing invalid characters. When libsoup
| operates behind a strict frontend proxy, this parsing differential
| can be exploited to smuggle HTTP requests.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
