@fastify/static vulnerable to route guard bypass via path traversal

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jul 22, 2026 in fastify/fastify-static

Package

npm @fastify/static (npm)

Affected versions

<= 10.1.0

Patched versions

10.1.1

Description

Impact

@fastify/static is vulnerable to a bypass of route-based middleware and guards via non-leading .. and %2E%2E path segments. find-my-way does not normalize .. when matching routes, so a request such as /foo/../deep/secret.txt matches the static plugin's catch-all instead of the guarded /deep/*. The getPathnameForSend helper introduced by the fix for GHSA-x428-ghpx-8j92 only guards against the %2F variant; .. and %2E%2E survive the decodeURI + encodeURI round-trip and are then collapsed away by @fastify/send's path.normalize before its own traversal guard runs.

Applications that rely on route-based middleware or guards to protect files served by @fastify/static can be bypassed with non-leading dot-dot path segments.

Patches

Upgrade to @fastify/static 10.1.1.

Workarounds

Do not use route-based middlewares or guards to protect files served by @fastify/static.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

Weaknesses

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
