Improper Input Validation in org.webjars.npm:parse-url

Cx215c2573-d9b3

  • org.webjars.npm:parse-url
  • parse-url
Medium
6.5/10

Summary

parse-url mishandles certain uses of backslash such as "https:/\" and interprets the URI as a relative path. Browsers accept backslashes after the protocol, and treat it as a normal slash, while parse-url sees it as a relative path. Which will lead to SSRF attacks, open redirects, or other undesired behavior. This issue affects versions through 6.0.0, and versions 6.0.2, 6.0.3 and 6.0.5. Similar to CVE-2021-27515, CVE-2021-27516.
