CVE-2022-24723: Leading white space bypasses protocol validation

URI.js is a Javascript URL mutation library. Before version 1.19.9, whitespace characters are not removed from the beginning of the protocol, so URLs are not parsed properly. This issue has been patched in version 1.19.9. Removing leading whitespace from values before passing them to URI.parse can be used as a workaround.

CVE
#js#java#perl

Impact

Whitespace characters are not removed from the beginning of the protocol, so URLs are not parsed properly and protocol validation mechanisms may fail.

Patches

Patched in 1.19.9

Workarounds

Remove leading whitespace from values before passing them to URI.parse (e.g. via .href(value) or new URI(value)), e.g. by using

function remove_whitespace(url){ const whitespace = /^[\x00-\x20\u00a0\u1680\u2000-\u200a\u2028\u2029\u202f\u205f\u3000\ufeff]+/; url = url.replace(whitespace, ‘’) return url }
