Medium (6.1) in validator project validator. EPSS 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in validator 13.15.20.
A URL validation bypass vulnerability exists in validator.js through version 13.15.15. The isURL() function uses '://' as a delimiter to parse protocols, while browsers use ':' as the delimiter. This parsing difference allows attackers to bypass protocol and domain validation by crafting URLs leading to XSS and Open Redirect attacks.
