Description
A flaw was found in fast-uri. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted Uniform Resource Locator (URL) containing percent-encoded path separators and dot segments. Due to incorrect processing, fast-uri would decode these elements before proper normalization, leading to distinct URLs resolving to the same internal path. This could allow an attacker to bypass security policies that rely on path-based comparisons, potentially gaining unauthorized access to resources.
