GHSA-5h5v-hw44-f6gg
No affected components available
Impact
Input to functions such as Client.rest.channels.removeBan is not url-encoded, resulting in specially crafted input such as ../../../channels/{id} being normalized into the url /api/v10/channels/{id}, and deleting a channel rather than removing a ban.
Workarounds
- Sanitizing user input, ensuring strings are valid for the purpose they are being used for.
- Encoding input with
encodeURIComponentbefore providing it to the library.
