fast-uri does not validate the complete RFC 3986 grammar for bracketed IPv6 literals, so a malformed literal with invalid trailing text is silently truncated to a different valid IPv6 address with no error reported. For example, normalize('http://[::not-valid]/private') returns http://[::]/private, and [fc00::not-hex] and [fe80::not-hex] collapse to [fc00::] and [fe80::]. An application that normalizes an untrusted URL before an outbound request, redirect, or host-policy check can be routed to a local or private address such as loopback (::1), unique-local, or link-local. Because parse().error is unset for these inputs, checking it does not protect the consumer.
Upgrade to fast-uri 2.4.5, 3.1.6, or 4.1.3. Malformed IPv6 literals are now rejected with a host error instead of being normalized to a valid address.
Reject untrusted URLs whose host is a bracketed IPv6 literal before passing them to fast-uri, or route outbound requests against an explicit allowlist of addresses rather than trusting the normalized host.
