Description
A flaw was found in Python. The urllib.parse.urlsplit() and urlparse() functions improperly validated bracketed hosts ([]), allowing hosts that weren't IPv6 or IPvFuture compliant. This behavior was not conformant to RFC 3986 and was potentially vulnerable to server-side request forgery (SSRF) if a URL is processed by more than one URL parser.
