@fastify/static vulnerable to route guard bypass via encoded path separators
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| npm | @fastify/static | >= 8.0.0, < 9.1.1 | 9.1.1 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
`@fastify/static` v9.1.0 and earlier decodes percent-encoded path separators (`%2F`) before filesystem resolution, but Fastify's router treats them as literal characters. This creates a routing mismatch: route guards on `/admin/*` do not match `/admin%2Fsecret.html`, but @fastify/static decodes it to `/admin/secret.html` and serves the file.
Applications that rely on route-based middleware or guards to protect files served by @fastify/static can be bypassed with encoded path separators.
### Patches
Upgrade to `@fastify/static` >= 9.1.1.
### Workarounds
None. Upgrade to the patched version.
