Description
Impact
The regex used for the forge.util.parseUrl API would not properly parse certain inputs resulting in a parsed data structure that could lead to undesired behavior.
Patches
forge.util.parseUrl and other very old related URL APIs were removed in 1.0.0 in favor of letting applications use the more modern WHATWG URL Standard API.
Workarounds
Ensure code does not directly or indirectly call forge.util.parseUrl with untrusted input.
