This was reported by Zac Sims. Zac's writeup on how the bug was found is now available at: https://www.canva.dev/blog/engineering/when-url-parsers-disagree-cve-2023-38633/

It points to a root cause of mixing two different URL parsers, with one used to validate the URL and a different one used to load the content from it.
