CVE-2026-6322: fast-uri vulnerable to host confusion via percent-encoded authority delimiters
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://trusted.com@evil.com/, 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.
