Path Traversal in fast-uri (CVE-2026-6321)
Summary
Path traversal in fast-uri (CVE-2026-6321). Data can be tampered with by attackers. Mitigation: upgrade to 2.4.1 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Impact
fast-uri v3.1.0 and earlier decodes percent-encoded path separators (%2F) and dot segments (%2E) before applying dot-segment removal in normalize() and equal(). This makes encoded path data behave like real / and .., so distinct URIs collapse onto the same normalized path.
For example, http://example.com/public/%2e%2e/admin normalizes to http://example.com/admin, and equal() considers them the same URI.
Applications that normalize or compare attacker-controlled URLs to enforce path-based policy can be bypassed. A path that looks confined under an allowed prefix can normalize to a different location.
Patches
Upgrade to fast-uri >= 3.1.1, or if you are in the v2.x release line, v2.4.1
Workarounds
None. Upgrade to the patched version.
