 - Incorrect parsing in url-parse <1.4.3 returns wrong hostname which leads to multiple vulnerabilities such as SSRF, Open Redirect, Bypass Authentication Protocol. (CVE-2018-3774)

 - Insufficient validation and sanitization of user input exists in url-parse npm package version 1.4.4 and earlier may allow attacker to bypass security checks. (CVE-2020-8124)

 - url-parse before 1.5.0 mishandles certain uses of backslash such as http:\/ and interprets the URI as a relative path. (CVE-2021-27515)

 - url-parse is vulnerable to URL Redirection to Untrusted Site (CVE-2021-3664)

 - Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in NPM url-parse prior to 1.5.6. (CVE-2022-0512)
