fast-uri vulnerable to host confusion via percent-encoded authority delimiters
Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

fast-urinpmDescription
Impact
fast-uri v3.1.1 and earlier decodes percent-encoded authority delimiters (%40 as @, %3A as :) inside the host component and serializes them back as raw characters. This changes the URI structure, turning a hostname into userinfo plus a different host.
For example, http://trusted.com%40evil.com/ normalizes to http://[email protected]/, which reparses as host evil.com with userinfo trusted.com.
Applications that normalize untrusted URLs before host allowlist checks, redirect validation, or outbound request routing can be steered to a different authority than the original URL appeared to contain.
Patches
Upgrade to fast-uri >= 3.1.2, or if you are in the v2.x release line, v2.4.1
Workarounds
None. Upgrade to the patched version.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for fast-uri, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update fast-uri to 3.1.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-6322 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
Fixing This On Your OS
If you run this on a Linux distribution, patch through your package manager against the distro's own security advisory below — it tracks the exact backported fix for your release, which can ship on a different timeline (and sometimes a different severity) than the upstream project.
This Important flaw in the `fast-uri` library allows an attacker to bypass security controls in Red Hat products that process Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). By crafting a malicious URI with percent-encoded authority delimiters, an attacker can cause the library to incorrectly interpret the URI's authority,…
