CVE-2026-86818 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.webjars.npm:fast-uri to version 4.1.5 or higher.
Overview
org.webjars.npm:fast-uri is a Dependency-free RFC 3986 URI toolbox
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Encoding Error in the mailto parser process. An attacker can inject unauthorized recipients or manipulate the subject and body fields by crafting a URI with percent-encoded reserved field names, which are not properly recognized during parsing but are re-emitted as literal field names upon serialization. This can result in attacker-controlled data being silently included in outgoing messages or logs.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by decoding and re-validating the recipient, subject, and body fields of a mailto URI after serialization and before acting on it.
