fast-uri accepts a host that contains an unbalanced or misplaced authority bracket without reporting an error. A host that starts with an opening bracket but does not end with a closing bracket is neither validated as an IP literal nor canonicalized as a domain name, so parse() returns it as the host with error undefined, while Node's URL and the HTTP clients built on it resolve the same string to a different host. An application that reads the parsed host to make a host decision, such as an SSRF denylist, a redirect allowlist, or proxy routing, and then passes the original URL to an HTTP client evaluates its policy against a string that is not the host the request reaches. The same host is carried through normalize, equal, and resolve. This affects fast-uri versions 2.4.5, 3.1.6, and 4.1.3, and is fixed in 2.4.6, 3.1.7, and 4.1.4, where parse() reports a malformed host for any host that contains a bracket but is not a valid IPv6 literal.
AnalysisAI
Host-parsing ambiguity in fast-uri allows attackers to silently bypass SSRF denylists, redirect allowlists, and proxy routing rules by submitting URLs containing unbalanced authority brackets. Affected versions 2.4.5, 3.1.6, and 4.1.3 of the Fastify ecosystem URI parsing library return the malformed bracket-containing string as the host without raising an error, while Node.js's URL implementation and downstream HTTP clients resolve the same string to an entirely different host. …
