The http_negotiate_create_context function in protocol/http/http_negotiate.c in ELinks 0.12 before 0.12pre6, when using HTTP Negotiate or GSS-Negotiate authentication, delegates user credentials through GSSAPI, which allows remote servers to authenticate as the client via the delegated credentials.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
