CVE-2026-25224: Fastify Vulnerable to DoS via Unbounded Memory Allocation in sendWebStream

February 2, 2026

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.
