CVE-2025-32442

Fastify vulnerable to invalid content-type parsing, which could lead to validation bypass

Published Apr 18, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Fastify is a fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js. In versions 5.0.0 to 5.3.0 as well as version 4.29.0, applications that specify different validation strategies for different content types have a possibility to bypass validation by providing a _slightly altered_ content type such as with different casing or altered whitespacing before `;`. This was patched in v5.3.1, but the initial patch did not cover all problems. This has been fully patched in v5.3.2 and v4.29.1. A workaround involves not specifying individual content types in the schema.
