DescriptionCVE.org

fast-uri is a URI parser for Node.js. During parsing it runs a legacy decoding pass over the scheme component and never re-escapes the result, and serialization writes the scheme back out verbatim, unlike the host component which is re-escaped. As a result an input whose scheme carries percent-encoded slashes parses as a scheme with no authority, so the parsed host and error are both undefined, yet resolving or normalizing that same input emits a network-path reference whose authority is attacker-chosen and re-parses to that host. An application that allowlists on the parsed host, or treats a reference with no authority as safe to resolve against its base, gets the opposite of what it checked, giving an off-site redirect, server-side request forgery, or address-policy bypass. The legacy decoder also expands non-standard escape forms, widening the issue past upstream filters, and control characters in the scheme can reach the output as raw carriage return and line feed. The affected versions are 2.3.1 up to but not including 2.4.5, 3.0.0 up to but not including 3.1.6, and 4.0.0 up to but not including 4.1.3. The issue is fixed in 2.4.5, 3.1.6, and 4.1.3, which reject a scheme that is not valid after decoding. Users should upgrade to a patched version.

AnalysisAI

Parsing and serialization inconsistency in fast-uri, the Node.js URI parser core to the Fastify ecosystem, allows network-accessible, unauthenticated attackers to supply percent-encoded slashes in the scheme component, causing the library to report host as undefined during parsing while serialization emits a network-path reference with an attacker-controlled authority. Applications that allowlist requests on the parsed host value, or that treat a no-authority parse result as safe to resolve against a base URI, are bypassed - enabling server-side request forgery, off-site redirects, and address-policy evasion. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms exploitation requires no authentication and no special configuration, making affected deployments an immediate upgrade priority.

Technical ContextAI

fast-uri implements RFC 3986 URI parsing for Node.js and is a foundational dependency of the Fastify web framework. The root cause is CWE-177 (Improper Handling of URL Encoding): a legacy decoding pass is applied to the scheme component during parsing but is never reversed before serialization. RFC 3986 explicitly prohibits percent-encoding in the scheme; when fast-uri encounters '%2F' (encoded slash) in the scheme, it decodes it, which eliminates the apparent authority delimiter, leaving the parsed host undefined. However, serialization and normalization write the decoded scheme back verbatim, reintroducing the slashes as a '//' authority delimiter with whatever follows as the host - which is fully attacker-controlled. A secondary vector exists because the legacy decoder also expands non-standard escape sequences, allowing bypass of upstream input filters that strip standard encodings. Additionally, control characters such as CR ('%0D') and LF ('%0A') placed in the scheme survive into output as raw bytes, enabling HTTP response splitting or header injection in contexts where the URI is written to outbound HTTP headers. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:fast-uri:fast-uri:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* across the 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x branches.

RemediationAI

Upgrade fast-uri to version 2.4.5, 3.1.6, or 4.1.3 for the respective major version branch in use; all three releases fix the issue by rejecting schemes that are not valid after decoding, as confirmed by the vendor advisory at https://github.com/fastify/fast-uri/security/advisories/GHSA-jqff-g426-hqxp and the OpenJS CNA listing at https://cna.openjsf.org/security-advisories.html. Running 'npm audit' or 'npm update fast-uri' in the project directory will identify and apply the fix where npm can resolve it automatically. If immediate upgrading is blocked, a compensating control is to validate all URI inputs at the application boundary by rejecting any input whose scheme portion contains percent-encoded characters (i.e., reject strings matching /^[^:]*%[0-9a-fA-F]{2}.*:/) before passing to fast-uri; this pre-filter adds latency and must be maintained as a custom layer, and it does not address the CRLF secondary vector. Additionally, disabling or sandboxing any normalization or resolution logic that consumes fast-uri output, and ensuring outbound HTTP clients do not write raw fast-uri output into request headers without sanitization, reduces exposure to both SSRF and CRLF injection vectors until the patch is applied.
