Description

Faraday is an HTTP client library abstraction layer that provides a common interface over many adapters. Versions 2.0.0 through 2.14.1 still allow protocol-relative host override when the request target is passed as a URI object (rather than a String) to Faraday::Connection#build_exclusive_url. This bypasses the February 2026 fix for GHSA-33mh-2634-fwr2 and enables off-host request forgery: a request built from a fixed-base Faraday::Connection can be redirected to an attacker-controlled host, forwarding connection-scoped values such as Authorization headers and default query parameters. This issue has been fixed in version 2.14.3.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

2.0.0 ≤ v < 2.14.2
Affected range stops below 2.14.2, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
v ≤ 2.14.2
