Summary
fast-uri versions from 2.4.2 before 2.4.8, from 3.1.3 before 3.1.9, and from 4.0.1 before 4.2.3 are affected. The canonicalizeHost() function accepts the output of the WHATWG URL parser without checking that the whole input was consumed as a host, so the authority is silently rewritten (CWE-20). An unauthenticated remote attacker can craft an HTTP-family authority so that applications enforcing host-based policy check one host while traffic is sent to another.

Description from the CNA
fast-uri is a dependency-free RFC 3986 URI parser and serializer for Node.js. In versions from 2.4.2 through 2.4.7, from 3.1.3 through 3.1.8, and from 4.0.1 through 4.2.2, for HTTP-family schemes the canonicalizeHost() function passes the parsed host to the WHATWG URL parser and adopts its hostname without checking that the parser consumed the entire input as a host, so the authority can be silently rewritten: data before an at-sign is dropped and tab, carriage-return, and line-feed characters are stripped, with no error reported. An application that enforces host-based policy such as denylists, loopback filtering, redirect validation, or outbound proxy routing on one representation can then see the canonical host diverge from what it checked, allowing traffic to be steered to an unintended destination. The issue is fixed in fast-uri 2.4.8, 3.1.9, and 4.2.3, and users should upgrade to one of these versions or later. As a workaround, reject an authority that contains more than one at-sign or any tab, carriage-return, or line-feed before calling fast-uri, or treat any non-empty parse error as fatal and compare hosts only from the same parse result.
