## Overview

A flaw was found in fast-uri, a software component used for parsing Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) in Node.js applications. This vulnerability arises from an issue in how fast-uri processes the scheme part of a URI, specifically when it contains special characters that are percent-encoded. An attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious URI, causing the parser to misinterpret the host, which can lead to serious security risks. These risks include unauthorized redirection to external websites, server-side request forgery (SSRF) where the application makes unintended requests to internal or external resources, and bypassing security policies.
