📚 Description

Fixes an issue where navigateTo did not block navigation to URLs with script protocols such as javascript:.

There were two problems in bridge:

  • The navigateTo(url, { open }) branch did not check the protocol at all and passed the URL straight to window.open (the same issue as fix(nuxt): apply isScriptProtocol guard to navigateTo open option nuxt#35206)
  • The navigateTo(url, { external: true }) branch did have a check, but it compared parseURL(toPath).protocol === 'script:'. Since javascript: and other script protocols never match this, the check was effectively a no-op

To align with the latest Nuxt implementation (nuxt/nuxt#35206, nuxt/nuxt#36459, nuxt/nuxt#36617), this PR makes the following changes:

  • Port isRootedPath / isAbsoluteHref / getScriptProtocol to runtime/utils/url.ts
    • Check with getScriptProtocol in both the open and external branches
    • Detect external URLs with isAbsoluteHref instead of hasProtocol

📝 Checklist

  • I have linked an issue or discussion.
  • I have updated the documentation accordingly.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds URL utilities to classify rooted paths, absolute URLs, and script protocols. navigateTo uses these utilities to identify external URLs and reject script protocols before client-side opening or external navigation. Tests cover utility classifications, rejected navigation URLs, and opening a safe HTTPS URL.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 83826

An explicit HTTPS destination can open an internal route instead of the intended site. This is a bounded navigation defect to fix or explicitly accept before merging.

Explanation

Issue #1838 requires porting the upstream script-protocol guard for the navigateTo { open } option. navigateTo calls getScriptProtocol(toPath) before window.open and throws for script-capable protocols. Tests cover javascript:, data:, vbscript:, and control-character-prefixed URLs. The URL utility tests and safe HTTPS test provide supporting coverage.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within the navigation-protocol security scope of issue #1838. The isRootedPath, isAbsoluteHref, and getScriptProtocol utilities support the guard and external-URL classification. The external-navigation guard and its tests address the same protocol-validation defect. No unrelated files or behavior are present in the reviewed changes.

Classify HTTPS scheme-relative URLs on HTTP sites.

For https:evil.example on an HTTP site, the browser resolves the input as an absolute HTTPS URL. Both HTTPS probes resolve it relative to their own hosts, so isAbsoluteHref returns false. navigateTo then sends the input to router.push instead of requiring { external: true }. Detect an explicit scheme independently of the probe bases, and add this case to the classifier tests. (url.spec.whatwg.org)
