Affected packages
• npm @asymmetric-effort/specifyjs: < 0.2.136 → fixed in 0.2.136
Description
Finding
Location: `core/src/shared/secure-fetch.ts:42-45`
When `new URL()` throws a parse error, the `assertSecureUrl` function returned without throwing, silently allowing the request to proceed without HTTPS validation.
Status
Fixed in v0.2.136 — The catch block now throws an error instead of silently returning.
