Re: [whatwg/url] Malformed URL Normalization in Standard Introduces SSRF Risks (Issue #893)

jasnell left a comment (whatwg/url#893)

A couple of points:

1. We have a responsible disclosure process. If you are convinced that this is an actual security vulnerability, then that process should have been followed.
2. That said, we implement the spec-defined behavior. *If* there's an actual issue here, which I don't believe there is, then this is correctly dealt with in the issue you opened in the whatwg/url repo (https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/61264). Opening the second issue here is unnecessary. If/when a change is made to the spec we'll pull that change in here.
3. -1 to adding any "strict parsing mode" in the implementation that goes against what the standard says.

I recommend closing this issue. If the issue is deemed to be legitimate in the spec issue, then we'll follow up with the appropriate changes at that time.
