Package : node-url-parse
Version : 1.2.0-2+deb10u2
CVE ID : CVE-2021-3664 CVE-2021-27515 CVE-2022-0512 CVE-2022-0639
CVE-2022-0686 CVE-2022-0691
Debian Bug : 985110 991577
Multiple vulnerabilities were found in node-types-url-parse, a Node.js
module used to parse URLs, which may result in authorization bypass or
redirection to untrusted sites.
CVE-2021-3664
url-parse mishandles certain uses of a single (back)slash such as
https:\ & https:/ and interprets the URI as a relative path.
Browsers accept a single backslash after the protocol, and treat it
as a normal slash, while url-parse sees it as a relative path.
Depending on library usage, this may result in allow/block list
bypasses, SSRF attacks, open redirects, or other undesired behavior.
CVE-2021-27515
Using backslash in the protocol is valid in the browser, while
url-parse thinks it's a relative path. An application that
validates a URL using url-parse might pass a malicious link.
CVE-2022-0512
Incorrect handling of username and password can lead to failure to
properly identify the hostname, which in turn could result in
authorization bypass.
CVE-2022-0639
Incorrect conversion of `@` characters in protocol in the `href`
field can lead to lead to failure to properly identify the hostname,
which in turn could result in authorization bypass.
CVE-2022-0686
Rohan Sharma reported that url-parse is unable to find the correct
hostname when no port number is provided in the URL, such as in
` http://example.com:`. This could in turn result in SSRF attacks,
open redirects or any other vulnerability which depends on the
`hostname` field of parsed URL.
CVE-2022-0691
url-parse is unable to find the correct hostname when the URL
contains a backspace `\b` character. This tricks the parser into
interpreting the URL as a relative path, bypassing all hostname
checks. It can also lead to false positive in `extractProtocol()`.
For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
1.2.0-2+deb10u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your node-url-parse packages.
