CVE-2026-44928
Description
A flaw was found in uriparser. The EqualsUri function can incorrectly identify distinct Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) as identical. This misclassification can lead to improper URI handling within applications that use uriparser, potentially compromising data integrity.
Statement
A Moderate integrity flaw was found in uriparser, where the EqualsUri function can incorrectly identify distinct URIs as identical. This misclassification can lead to improper URI handling within applications utilizing uriparser, potentially compromising data integrity in Red Hat products that rely on accurate URI differentiation.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

Other
Technical Impact: Varies by Context
This can lead to incorrect results and resultant weaknesses. For example, the code might inadvertently compare references to objects, instead of the relevant contents of those objects, causing two "equal" objects to be considered unequal.
