Advisories for Npm/Fastify package

A validation bypass vulnerability exists in Fastify where request body validation schemas specified by Content-Type can be completely circumvented. By appending a tab character (\t) followed by arbitrary content to the Content-Type header, attackers can bypass body validation while the server still processes the body as the original content type. For example, a request with Content-Type: application/json\ta will bypass JSON schema validation but still be parsed as JSON. This vulnerability …

A Denial of Service vulnerability in Fastify’s Web Streams response handling can allow a remote client to exhaust server memory. Applications that return a ReadableStream (or Response with a Web Stream body) via reply.send() are impacted. A slow or non-reading client can trigger unbounded buffering when backpressure is ignored, leading to process crashes or severe degradation.

In applications that specify different validation strategies for different content types, it's possible to bypass the validation by providing a slightly altered content type such as with different casing or altered whitespacing before ;. Users using the the following pattern are affected: fastify.post('/', { handler(request, reply) { reply.code(200).send(request.body) }, schema: { body: { content: { 'application/json': { schema: { type: 'object', properties: { 'foo': { type: 'string', } }, required: …

Fastify is a web framework with minimal overhead and plugin architecture. The attacker can use the incorrect Content-Type to bypass the Pre-Flight checking of fetch. fetch() requests with Content-Type’s essence as "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "multipart/form-data", or "text/plain", could potentially be used to invoke routes that only accepts application/json content type, thus bypassing any CORS protection, and therefore they could lead to a Cross-Site Request Forgery attack. This issue has been patched in …

This advisory duplicates another.

fastify is a fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js. Affected versions of fastify are subject to a denial of service via malicious use of the Content-Type header. An attacker can send an invalid Content-Type header that can cause the application to crash. This issue has been addressed in commit fbb07e8d and will be included in release version 4.8.1. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may …

github-action-merge-dependabot is an action that automatically approves and merges dependabot pull requests (PRs). Prior to version 3.2.0, github-action-merge-dependabot does not check if a commit created by dependabot is verified with the proper GPG key. There is just a check if the actor is set to dependabot[bot] to determine if the PR is a legit PR. Theoretically, an owner of a seemingly valid and legit action in the pipeline can check …

A denial of service vulnerability exists in Fastify that allows a malicious user to trigger resource exhaustion (when the allErrors option is used) with specially crafted schemas.

Fastify is vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack by sending a request with Content-Type set to application/json and a very large payload.
