Security Impact
CVSS: 6.1
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).
How to Fix CVE-2026-44372
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Nitro dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install nitro@3.0.260429-beta
npm install nitropack@2.13.4
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls nitro
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-44372, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls nitro
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Nitro in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.0.260429-beta), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls nitro command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-601: URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect'), where the web application accepts a user-controlled input that specifies a link to an external site, and uses that link in a redirect. In Nitro, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

"summary" : "Nitro has an Open Redirect via Protocol-Relative URL Bypass in Wildcard Route Rules",
"details" : "A redirect route rule like:\n\n```ts\nrouteRules: {\n \"/legacy/**\": { redirect: \"/**\" }\n}\n```\n\nis intended to rewrite paths within the same host. Before the patch, an attacker could turn the rewrite into a cross-host redirect by sliding an extra slash in after the rule prefix. Example exploit:\n\n```\nGET /legacy//evil.com\n```\n\nNitro stripped `/legacy` from the matched pathname and joined the remainder against the rule's target. The remainder was `//evil.com`, which the join preserved verbatim, so Nitro responded with `Location: //evil.com`. Browsers resolve `//evil.com` as a protocol-relative URL against the current scheme, sending the user to `https://evil.com`. \n\n### Are you affected?\n\nUsers may be affected if **all** of the following are true:\n\n1. Their project uses Nitro's `routeRules` with a `redirect` entry.\n2. The target uses a `/**` wildcard suffix to forward sub-paths (e.g. `redirect: \"/**\"`, `redirect: \"/new/**\"`, `proxy: { to: \"http://upstream/**\" }`).\n3. The `redirect` rule is _not_ handled natively at the CDN layer. The `vercel`, `netlify`, `cloudflare-pages`, and `edgeone` presets translate `routeRules.redirect` into platform config (`vercel.json`, `_redirects`, EdgeOne v3 config) and serve the redirect at the edge — those deployments bypass the Nitro runtime entirely and are not affected. Every other preset executes the redirect through the Nitro runtime and can be vulnerable.\n\n## Impact\n\nOpen redirect from any host serving Nitro with a wildcard `redirect` rule. The redirect target is fully attacker-controlled, the URL looks legitimate (it starts with the victim's domain), and the browser silently follows it.\n\n## Patched versions\n\nUpgrade to one of:\n\n- [2.13.4](https://github.com/nitrojs/nitro/releases/tag/v2.13.4) or later (or upgrade lockfile with latest ufo 1.6.4+)\n- [3.0.260429-beta](https://github.com/nitrojs/nitro/releases/tag/v3.0.260429-beta) or later (https://github.com/nitrojs/nitro/pull/4236)\n\nThe fix has two parts:\n\n1. `ufo` is bumped to `^1.6.4` ([unjs/ufo@5cd9e67](https://github.com/unjs/ufo/commit/5cd9e676711af3f4e4b5398ddf6ca8d52c1c7e1f)), which collapses any run of leading slashes to a single `/` inside `withoutBase`. This covers the typical `\"/scope/**\"` rule.\n2. The Nitro runtime additionally collapses leading `//` before joining when the rule path itself is `/**` (in rare case which case `withoutBase` is never called and the raw pathname flows straight into `joinURL(\"\", …)`).",
