If your environment does **not** normalize incoming URLs (e.g., by collapsing multiple slashes), this can allow bypasses of `disabledPaths` and path-based rate limits.\n\n## Details\n\nBetter Auth uses **better-call**, which internally relies on **rou3** for routing. Affected versions of rou3 normalize paths by removing empty segments. As a result:\n\n* `/sign-in/email`\n* `//sign-in/email`\n* `///sign-in/email`\n\n…all resolve to the same route.\n\nSome production setups *automatically* collapse multiple slashes. This includes:\n\n* Vercel with Nextjs (default)\n* Cloudflare - when normalize to urls origin is enabled (https://developers.cloudflare.com/rules/normalization/settings/#normalize-urls-to-origin)\n\nIn these environments and other configurations where `//path` reach Better Auth as `/path`, the issue does not apply.\n\n## Fix\n\nUpdating rou3 to the latest version resolves the issue:\n\n* better-call previously depended on `\"rou3\": \"^0.5.1\"`\n* The fix was introduced after that version\n  (commit: [https://github.com/h3js/rou3/commit/f60b43fa648399534507c9ac7db36d705b8874c3](https://github.com/h3js/rou3/commit/f60b43fa648399534507c9ac7db36d705b8874c3))\n\nBetter Auth recommends:\n\n1. **Upgrading to Better Auth v1.4.5 or later**, which includes the updated rou3.\n2. Ensuring the proxy normalizes URLs.\n3. If project maintainers cannot upgrade yet, they can protect their app by normalizing url before it reaches better-auth handler. See example below:\n```ts\nconst req = new Request(...) // this would be the actual request object\nconst url = new URL(req.url);\nconst normalizedPath = url.pathname.replace(/\\/+/g, \"/\");\n\nif (url.pathname !== normalizedPath) {\n  url.pathname = normalizedPath;\n  // Update the raw request pathname\n  Object.defineProperty(req, \"url\", {\n    value: url.toString(),\n    writable: true,\n    configurable: true,\n  });\n}\n```\n\n## Impact\n\n* Bypass `disabledPaths`\n* Bypass path-based rate limits\n\nThe impact of bypassing disabled paths could vary based on a project's configuration.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2025-12-16T21:22:45+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-08-03T03:41:44.5842353+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"better-auth","ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"kind":"introduced","version":"0"},{"kind":"fixed","version":"1.4.5"}]}],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":null}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS_V3","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H","score":null,"severity":null},{"system":"Publisher rating","vector":null,"score":null,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/security/advisories/GHSA-x732-6j76-qmhm","https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth"],"sourceUrl":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-x732-6j76-qmhm","license":"GitHub Advisory Database · CC-BY-4.0","key":"osv:GHSA-x732-6j76-qmhm","identifiers":["GHSA-x732-6j76-qmhm","CVE-2025-71399"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
