fast-uri vulnerable to host confusion via skipped IDN canonicalization on scheme-relative references

Source: GitHub Advisory Database (reviewed) High CVE-2026-75931

Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

### Impact `fast-uri` canonicalizes a host to its ASCII form only when the input carries an explicit scheme. When `resolve()` resolves a scheme-relative reference (`//host/`) against a scheme-bearing base, it still emits the host verbatim even though the effective scheme is known, so re-parsing the resolved URI yields a different host than the one `resolve()` returned. An application that resolves an untrusted reference with `fast-uri` and then checks or routes on the resulting host can make a policy decision on one host and reach another. This is an incomplete-fix variant of CVE-2026-13676, whose IDN canonicalization was applied only to the scheme-bearing form. ### Patches Upgrade to `fast-uri` 2.4.5, 3.1.6, or 4.1.3. `resolve()` now canonicalizes the host once the effective scheme is known, and fails closed if a raw non-ASCII host cannot be converted. ### Workarounds Resolve scheme-relative references against a base that carries a scheme before performing any host-policy or origin check.
