Echo: fast-uri: security update to 2.4.7

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 460539

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- fast-uri is a dependency-free RFC 3986 URI parser for Node.js, used by Fastify and ajv. In versions before
2.4.7, from 3.0.0 through 3.1.7, and from 4.0.0 through 4.1.4, fast-uri folds the host to lowercase before
it percent-decodes the host, so a percent-encoded uppercase octet such as %41 decodes to a literal A that
is never folded. For a scheme-relative reference such as //host there is no scheme, so the host
canonicalization that would normally repair this does not run, and parse, normalize, and equal then
disagree on the same host. An application that makes a case-sensitive host decision on fast-uri output,
for example a host allowlist or denylist that compares the parsed host or uses equal, can be steered past
the check with a percent-encoded uppercase octet, and because hostnames are case-insensitive in DNS and
HTTP the evading spelling still reaches the host the check meant to gate. The issue is fixed in fast-uri
2.4.7, 3.1.8, and 4.1.5, and users should upgrade to one of those versions or later. As a workaround,
compare hosts case-insensitively by lowercasing the parsed host before any allowlist or denylist decision.
(CVE-2026-86472)

Solution

Update the fast-uri library and its related packages to version 2.4.7 or later.
