URL parsing in node-forge could lead to undesired behavior.
### 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.
