CVE-2026-75899: fast-uri vulnerable to server-side request forgery via repeated hostname percent-decoding
fast-uri decodes a hostname’s percent escapes twice in a single normalize() or resolve() call: once during parsing and again during authority recomposition. A nested percent-encoded host therefore survives the first decode and is turned into a live destination by the second, so normalize('http://%256c%256f%2563%2561%256c%2568%256f%2573%2574/') returns http://localhost/. Applications that normalize or resolve an untrusted URI before an SSRF check, redirect validation, or host allowlist can be steered to a different destination, including internal addresses such as loopback or a cloud metadata endpoint, than the encoded input appeared to contain. This is an incomplete-fix variant of CVE-2026-6322, whose encoded-authority-delimiter fix introduced the second decode.
