GHSA-w47m-j727-m843: Duplicate Advisory: Namespace value starting with / forms a protocol-relative URL when loadPath/addPath places {{ns}} right after a / (bypass of the // check added for GHSA-xvq9-wjp8-hwqf)

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-9jhj-wvmw-cfx5. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Descriptioni18next-http-backend 4.0.2 contains an incomplete fix in interpolateUrl() that allows attackers to redirect translation requests by supplying an ns value starting with a slash. Attackers controlling the namespace value can form a protocol-relative URL in loadPath or addPath templates to load attacker-hosted translations, enabling UI content injection and cross-site scripting.
