next-intl provides internationalization for Next.js.

MEDIUM 6.9EPSS 0.34%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.34%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

next-intl provides internationalization for Next.js. Applications using the `next-intl` middleware prior to version 4.9.1with `localePrefix: 'as-needed'` could construct URLs where path handling and the WHATWG URL parser resolved a relative redirect target to another host (e.g. scheme-relative `//` or control characters stripped by the URL parser), so the middleware could redirect the browser off-site while the user still started from a trusted app URL. The problem has been patchedin `next-intl@4.9.1`.
