Doc Text:
A vulnerability was found in curl. This issue occurs because the curl URL parser wrongly accepts percent-encoded URL separators like '/' when decoding the hostname part of a URL, making it a different URL using the wrong hostname when it is later retrieved. This flaw allows a malicious actor to make circumventing filters.

Description Marian Rehak 2022-05-05 15:07:26 UTC
The curl URL parser wrongly accepts percent-encoded URL separators like '/' when decoding the host name part of a URL, making it a *different* URL using the wrong host name when it is later retrieved. For example, a URL like `http://example.com%2F10.0.0.1/`, would be allowed by the parser and get transposed into `http://example.com/10.0.0.1/`. This flaw can be used to circumvent filters, checks and more.
