CVE-2026-33131 Details
Description
H3 is a minimal H(TTP) framework. Versions 2.0.0-0 through 2.0.1-rc.14 contain a Host header spoofing vulnerability in the NodeRequestUrl (which extends FastURL) which allows middleware bypass. When event.url, event.url.hostname, or event.url._url is accessed, such as in a logging middleware, the _url getter constructs a URL from untrusted data, including the user-controlled Host header. Because H3's router resolves the route handler before middleware runs, an attacker can supply a crafted Host header (e.g., Host: localhost:3000/abchehe?) to make the middleware path check fail while the route handler still matches, effectively bypassing authentication or authorization middleware. This affects any application built on H3 (including Nitro/Nuxt) that accesses event.url properties in middleware guarding sensitive routes. The issue requires an immediate fix to prevent FastURL.href from being constructed with unsanitized, attacker-controlled input. Version 2.0.1-rc.15 contains a patch for this issue.
A host header spoofing vulnerability has been identified in the H3 framework, specifically in versions 2.0.0-0 prior to 2.0.1-rc.15. This vulnerability allows for middleware bypass by manipulating the Host header, which is user-controlled. When certain event.url properties are accessed, the framework constructs a URL using untrusted data from the Host header. This can lead to authentication or authorization checks being bypassed, particularly in applications using H3 with Nitro or Nuxt that rely on event.url in middleware for sensitive routes.
Users can update to H3 version 2.0.1-rc.15 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
