Server-side request forgery (SSRF) In node-forge

Description

URL parsing in node-forge could lead to undesired behavior.

Impact

The regex used for the forge.util.parseUrl API would not properly parse certain inputs resulting in a parsed data structure that could lead to undesired behavior.

Patches

forge.util.parseUrl and other very old related URL APIs were removed in 1.0.0 in favor of letting applications use the more modern WHATWG URL Standard API.

Workarounds

Ensure code does not directly or indirectly call forge.util.parseUrl with untrusted input.
