## Summary In the Astro Node adapter, a request whose `Host` header contains a malformed port (for example `example.com:65536` or `example.com:8080:8080`) produced an invalid request URL. The fallback intended to recover from an unparseable URL reused the same malformed host, so it failed again and raised an uncaught `TypeError: Invalid URL` while the request was being built, before any route ran. ## Impact The effect depends on the adapter configuration: - Default configuration (`standalone`): the request returns `500 Internal Server Error` and the server continues running. - With the opt-in `staticHeaders: true` option: the throw reaches a synchronous HTTP handler that does not catch it, becoming an `uncaughtException` that terminates the process. This is an availability-only issue. It does not expose data or allow code execution. Triggering it requires sending a hand-crafted `Host` header, and many proxies and CDNs reject malformed hosts before they reach the origin. ## Affected versions `@astrojs/node` <= 11.1.2. ## Patches Fixed in `@astrojs/node` 11.1.3. When the incoming host cannot be parsed, the request URL now degrades to a host the server controls, so the reques

What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. NIST National Vulnerability Database
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
