CVE-2026-33637: Faraday has a possible incomplete fix for GHSA-33mh-2634-fwr2: protocol-relative URI objects still bypass host scoping
(updated )
Faraday::Connection#build_exclusive_url still allows protocol-relative host override when the request target is provided as a URI object instead of a String. This bypasses the February 2026 fix for GHSA-33mh-2634-fwr2 and can redirect a request built from a fixed-base Faraday::Connection to an attacker-controlled host while preserving connection-scoped headers such as Authorization.
