Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect URI authority to an attacker-controlled host.

The vulnerability exists due to improper encoding or escaping of output in the authority recomposition logic when serializing a URI with an unvalidated port component. A remote attacker can supply a non-digit port value containing authority delimiters to redirect URI authority to an attacker-controlled host.

The issue is reachable through the object forms of serialize(), normalize(), and equal(). A port value obtained from parse() is always digits and is not affected.
