Problem

Fix

  • The blob: branch of origin() now also requires hasAcceptableHost(subUrl), the helper the host/hostname setters in the same file already use. An inner URL with an invalid punycode label is treated as unparsed, so the origin is "null".
  • Correct because it applies the same rule the constructor applies to the same input: a tuple origin is only produced for an inner URL that new URL(inner) would accept. Hosts without xn-- return from the check without touching ICU; parser-produced punycode (from a Unicode inner host) still validates, which the test covers.
  • Test: test/js/web/url/url.test.ts, "blob: origin is null when the inner URL has an invalid punycode label (like Node)". Fails on the released 1.4 build (Received: "http://xn--a.com"), passes with this change.
  • bun bd test test/js/web/url (1306 pass, includes the WPT url-constructor origin expectations) and test/js/node/url pass; the one failure there is url-canParse-whatwg.test.js timing out a 1e5-iteration loop under the debug ASAN build on a loaded box, which does not go through origin().
  • The 15 inner URLs in the details block below now print the same as Node 26.3 byte for byte.

Direction (maintainer call)

Background

  • Punycode / xn-- label: the ASCII encoding of a Unicode domain label (xn--ls8h is the pile of poo emoji). UTS Bun v0.0.41 #46 (IDNA) defines which xn-- labels are valid; xn--a does not decode to anything, so ada 3.x (Node up to 26.6) fails to parse hosts containing it.
  • hasValidPunycodeHost (src/jsc/bindings/NodeURL.cpp): Bun's port of that check, run on top of WebKit's parser, which only lowercases all-ASCII hosts. hasAcceptableHost in URLDecomposition.cpp wraps it and skips non-special schemes, whose hosts are opaque and never go through IDNA.
  • blob: origin (https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-url-origin): a blob: URL's origin is the origin of the URL obtained by parsing its path; if that parse fails the origin is opaque, serialized as "null".
Before / after for the inner URLs checked (after column equals Node 26.3)
inner URL                       new URL(inner)   blob origin before     blob origin after (= node 26.3)
http://xn--a.com/               throws           http://xn--a.com       null
https://XN--A.com/x             throws           https://xn--a.com      null
http://xn--a/                   throws           http://xn--a           null
http://x%6E--a.com/             throws           http://xn--a.com       null
ftp://xn--nxasmq6b.xn--a.com/   throws           ftp://xn--nxasmq6b...  null

http://example.com:8080/x       ok               http://example.com:8080  http://example.com:8080

Where the rejection went: the WTF URLParser at the WebKit pin used by Bun 1.3.14 still had subdomainStartsWithXNDashDash, which sent ASCII xn-- hosts through ICU; the pin from #32414 onward does not. Bun's own check (#34660) covers DOMURL::create, parse, canParse, setHref, setHost and setHostname; origin() was the remaining path that parses user input into a host.

Status: ready for review, pending a direction call (see the comment below and the "Direction" section of the description).

Reproduced on the released 1.4 build with new URL("blob:http://xn--a.com/").origin (returns http://xn--a.com; new URL("http://xn--a.com/") throws on the same build; Bun 1.3.14 and Node 26.3 return null, Node 26.7 accepts the host everywhere after the June URL Standard change). The new test in test/js/web/url/url.test.ts fails on that build and passes with this branch; test/js/web/url and test/js/node/url pass with the debug build.

LGTM — one-line fix reusing the existing hasAcceptableHost helper for the last path #34660 missed.

What was reviewed:

  • Confirmed origin() is the only remaining spot in URLDecomposition.cpp that constructs a WTF::URL from user input; setHost/setHostname already have this exact check.
  • Checked that the inner scheme filter (http/https/ftp/ws/wss/file) means only special schemes reach protocolHostAndPort(), so the !hasSpecialScheme() short-circuit in the helper is inert here — the change is purely a tightening.
  • Test covers every scheme in that filter, plus positive cases (valid xn--ls8h, Unicode → punycode, port, xn--a in path/query) proving no regression.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Adds && hasAcceptableHost(subUrl) to the blob: branch of URLDecomposition::origin() so that a blob: URL whose inner path re-parses to a host with an invalid xn-- label yields origin "null" instead of a tuple origin. Also updates the helper's comment and adds a test in test/js/web/url/url.test.ts.

Security risks

Origin is security-relevant, but this change is strictly a tightening: inputs that previously produced a tuple origin now produce "null", matching Node, Bun 1.3.14, and the spec (an inner URL that fails to parse yields an opaque origin). No new surface is exposed and no origin becomes more permissive.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-medium. The functional diff is a single boolean conjunct calling a static helper already used identically two places in the same file (setHost, setHostname). The PR description traces exactly why this path was missed (#34660 covered constructor/parse/canParse/href/host/hostname setters; blob-origin re-parse was the remaining site). The helper's || !url.hasSpecialScheme() fallback is moot here because the very next line only accepts special-scheme inner URLs anyway.

Other factors

  • Test asserts both directions: nine invalid-punycode inner URLs (across http/https/ws/wss/ftp/file, including uppercase XN--, percent-encoded x%6E--, multi-label, and degenerate xn---/xn--a-) each throw from new URL(inner) and give "null" from new URL("blob:"+inner).origin; five valid inner URLs (valid punycode, Unicode host, port, xn--a in path/query) still produce the correct tuple origin.
  • PR states the test fails on the released 1.4 build and passes with this change; test/js/web/url (including WPT origin expectations) and test/js/node/url pass.
  • No memory, threading, or exception-scope concerns — pure const string logic on a stack-local WTF::URL.

Data point for whoever picks this up: the premise ("Node returns null") holds for Node 26.3 but not for current Node. The URL Standard changed in June (whatwg/url a8d5ca3716, "Add Unicode ToASCII fallback for ASCII domains"), WPT followed (b63305b743, "IDNA cannot fail ASCII domains, even if they start with xn--"), and ada 4.0 implements it, which shipped in Node 26.7. Checked with the Node 26.7.0 binary:

new URL("http://xn--a-ecp.example/").hostname        // "xn--a-ecp.example" (26.3: throws)
new URL("blob:http://xn--a-ecp.example/foo").origin   // "http://xn--a-ecp.example" (26.3: "null")
url.domainToASCII("xn--a")                            // "xn--a" (26.3: "")

Non-ASCII hosts still fail IDNA as before; only all-ASCII hosts with xn-- labels changed. So the origin() result this PR changes is the one place where Bun's main currently agrees with Node 26.7, and making it consistent with the constructor moves it the other way. The consistent options are this PR (all entry points reject, matching Node <= 26.6 and the vendored WPT fixtures from Node 26.3) or dropping hasValidPunycodeHost from all entry points and re-vendoring toascii.json / urltestdata.json (matching Node 26.7 and current WPT). That is a maintainer call; flagging it here so it is made before this merges. #39415 stays out of it on purpose (its tables hold in both Node versions).

URLDecomposition::origin() re-parses a blob: URL's path with WTF::URL
alone. Since the WebKit bump that removed the parser's own xn-- check,
that parse accepts hosts such as xn--a.com that the URL constructor,
URL.parse, URL.canParse and the host setters reject through
hasValidPunycodeHost, so new URL("blob:http://xn--a.com/").origin
returned "http://xn--a.com" while new URL("http://xn--a.com/") threw.

Apply the same host check to the inner URL, so it counts as unparsed and
the origin is "null", matching Node and Bun 1.3.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. The one-line source change reuses hasAcceptableHost exactly as the setHost/setHostname paths already do, and the test covers both the reject and accept sides across all special schemes. However, robobun's Aug 17 note flags that the URL Standard and Node 26.7 (ada 4.0) moved the other way on all-ASCII xn-- labels, and explicitly frames "reject everywhere vs. accept everywhere" as a maintainer call to be made before this merges — so a human should make that call.

What was reviewed:

  • hasAcceptableHost(subUrl) short-circuits on non-special schemes and on hosts without xn--, so valid inner URLs (including Unicode→punycode like münchen.de) are unaffected — the test's positive block confirms this.
  • Checked that the inner-URL scheme filter on the next line already excludes non-special schemes, so the !url.hasSpecialScheme() arm of the helper is redundant here but harmless.
  • The test's invalid list exercises every scheme the origin branch admits (http/https/ws/wss/ftp/file) and the percent-encoded / uppercase / multi-label spellings; xn-- in path/query is covered as a non-match.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR adds && hasAcceptableHost(subUrl) to the blob: branch of URLDecomposition::origin() in src/jsc/bindings/URLDecomposition.cpp, and adds a 34-line test to test/js/web/url/url.test.ts. The helper is already defined in the same file and used identically by setHost and setHostname. The effect is that a blob: URL whose inner path parses to a special-scheme URL with an invalid punycode host label now returns origin "null" instead of a tuple origin — making .origin agree with what new URL(inner) does on the same input.

Security risks

None. This tightens a validation path (fewer inputs produce a tuple origin), applies a check that already gates every other host-parsing entry point, and touches no auth/crypto/permissions code.

Level of scrutiny

The mechanical change is trivial and self-evidently consistent with the sibling call sites in the same file; on that basis alone I would approve. What raises the bar is robobun's timeline comment noting that the WHATWG URL Standard changed in June (whatwg/url a8d5ca3716), WPT followed, and Node 26.7 / ada 4.0 now accept all-ASCII xn-- labels — the exact inputs this PR makes origin() reject. The comment explicitly says the choice between this PR's direction (reject everywhere, matching Node ≤26.6 and the vendored WPT fixtures) and the opposite (drop hasValidPunycodeHost everywhere, matching Node 26.7 and current WPT) "is a maintainer call; flagging it here so it is made before this merges." That is an outstanding, unaddressed design question on the thread.

Other factors

Internal consistency clearly favors merging something — main currently has the constructor reject and origin() accept, which is the worst of both. This PR is the smaller, lower-risk of the two consistent options and is easy to reverse later if the maintainers choose to follow Node 26.7. The test is well-constructed (fails on the released build, passes with the fix, covers positive and negative cases across every admitted scheme, verifies xn-- in path/query does not trigger the host check). The comment-cop and CodeRabbit threads are resolved. But per the guidelines, an explicit "maintainer call" flagged on the thread and not yet answered is exactly the case where I should defer rather than approve.

Confirmed the data point above: whatwg/url a8d5ca3716 (2026-06-25) makes domain-to-ASCII fall back to the lowercased input for all-ASCII domains, WPT b63305b743 flips the matching cases (http://a.b.c.xn--pokxncvks now parses with a tuple origin, toascii.json maps xn--a to "xn--a"), and Node 26.7 picked it up by bumping ada from 3.4.4 to 4.0.0. The "Node returns null" in the description is Node 26.3 behavior.

So there are two consistent end states:

  1. Reject invalid literal xn-- labels at every entry point. This is what main implements today (node compat batch: callback-throw dispatch, Assert class + native deep-equality parity, Intl gate + URL/buffer fallout, compile cache, watch kill-signal, profilers (+98 tests) #34660, and URL: reuse input string for href, per-VM base cache, judge literal punycode without full ICU #39468 added a fast path for it two days ago), what the vendored urltestdata.json / toascii.json still pin ("failure": true for xn--pokxncvks, null for xn--a), and what this PR completes by covering the one entry point that was missed.
  2. Accept them everywhere, per the current spec and Node 26.7: remove hasValidPunycodeHost and its callers (constructor, parse, canParse, href/host/hostname setters, domainToASCII), drop ASCIIHostPunycodeCheck.h, and re-vendor the WPT fixtures. The origin() line this PR touches would be removed along with the helper, so that is a separate PR either way.

Main today is neither: the constructor rejects and .origin accepts the same host. This PR is the small change that gets to state 1; whether to move to state 2 instead is a maintainer decision (@Jarred-Sumner). I have updated the description to say this.
