URL Parse Allows NonIPv6 in Brackets Host Validation Flaw
CVE-2025-47912 Published on October 29, 2025

Insufficient validation of bracketed IPv6 hostnames in net/url
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.
