GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

CVE-2021-3664

Overview

Affected versions of npm url-parse are vulnerable to URL Redirection to Untrusted Site.

Impact

Depending on library usage and attacker intent, impacts may include allow/block list bypasses, SSRF attacks, open redirects, or other undesired behavior.

CVE-2022-0512

Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in NPM url-parse prior to 1.5.6.

CVE-2022-0686

url-parse prior to version 1.5.8 is vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key.

CVE-2022-0639

A specially crafted URL with an '@​' sign but empty user info and no hostname, when parsed with url-parse, url-parse will return the incorrect href. In particular,

parse(\"http://@​/127.0.0.1\")

Will return:

{
 slashes: true,
 protocol: 'http:',
 hash: '',
 query: '',
 pathname: '/127.0.0.1',
 auth: '',
 host: '',
 port: '',
 hostname: '',
 password: '',
 username: '',
 origin: 'null',
 href: 'http:///127.0.0.1'
 }

If the 'hostname' or 'origin' attributes of the output from url-parse are used in security decisions and the final 'href' attribute of the output is then used to make a request, the decision may be incorrect.

CVE-2022-0691

Leading control characters in a URL are not stripped when passed into url-parse. This can cause input URLs to be mistakenly be interpreted as a relative URL without a hostname and protocol, while the WHATWG URL parser will trim control characters and treat it as an absolute URL.

If url-parse is used in security decisions involving the hostname / protocol, and the input URL is used in a client which uses the WHATWG URL parser, the decision may be incorrect.

This can also lead to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability if url-parse is used to check for the javascript: protocol in URLs. See following example:

const parse = require('url-parse')
const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const port = 3000

url = parse(\"\\bjavascript:alert(1)\")

console.log(url)

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
 if (url.protocol !== \"javascript:\") {res.send(\"<a href=\\'\" + url.href + \"\\'>CLICK ME!</a>\")}
 })

app.listen(port, () => {
 console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}`)
 })
