Launch Week Day 1: Announcing Security Design Review
UNKNOWN Go

Insufficient validation of bracketed IPv6 hostnames in net/url

GO-2025-4010 · BIT-golang-2025-47912 · CVE-2025-47912

Published · Modified

Description

The Parse function permits values other than IPv6 addresses to be included in square brackets within the host component of a URL. RFC 3986 permits IPv6 addresses to be included within the host component, enclosed within square brackets. For example: "http://[::1]/". IPv4 addresses and hostnames must not appear within square brackets. Parse did not enforce this requirement.
