Title
h3 has a middleware bypass with one gadget
Summary
H3 is a minimal H(TTP) framework. Versions 2.0.0-0 through 2.0.1-rc.14 contain a Host header spoofing vulnerability in the NodeRequestUrl (which extends FastURL) which allows middleware bypass. When event.url, event.url.hostname, or event.url._url is accessed, such as in a logging middleware, the _url getter constructs a URL from untrusted data, including the user-controlled Host header. Because H3's router resolves the route handler before middleware runs, an attacker can supply a crafted Host header (e.g., Host: localhost:3000/abchehe?) to make the middleware path check fail while the route handler still matches, effectively bypassing authentication or authorization middleware. This affects any application built on H3 (including Nitro/Nuxt) that accesses event.url properties in middleware guarding sensitive routes. The issue requires an immediate fix to prevent FastURL.href from being constructed with unsanitized, attacker-controlled input. Version 2.0.1-rc.15 contains a patch for this issue.

"value": "H3 es un framework H(TTP) m\u00ednimo. Las versiones 2.0.0-0 hasta 2.0.1-rc.14 contienen una vulnerabilidad de suplantaci\u00f3n de encabezado Host en NodeRequestUrl (que extiende FastURL) que permite el bypass de middleware. Cuando se accede a event.url, event.url.hostname, o event.url._url, como en un middleware de registro, el gestor de acceso _url construye una URL a partir de datos no confiables, incluyendo el encabezado Host controlado por el usuario. Debido a que el router de H3 resuelve el gestor de ruta antes de que se ejecute el middleware, un atacante puede proporcionar un encabezado Host manipulado (p. ej., Host: localhost:3000/abchehe?) para hacer que la verificaci\u00f3n de ruta del middleware falle mientras el gestor de ruta a\u00fan coincide, eludiendo efectivamente el middleware de autenticaci\u00f3n o autorizaci\u00f3n. Esto afecta a cualquier aplicaci\u00f3n construida sobre H3 (incluyendo Nitro/Nuxt) que acceda a las propiedades de event.url en middleware que protege rutas sensibles. El problema requiere una soluci\u00f3n inmediata para evitar que FastURL.href se construya con entrada no saneada y controlada por el atacante. La versi\u00f3n 2.0.1-rc.15 contiene un parche para este problema."
