Fastify is a fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js. Prior to version 5.7.2, 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. This issue has been patched in version 5.7.2.
Monitor this advisory for an available fix and review any installs of the affected package.

hol-guard supply-chain scanFastify's Content-Type header tab character allows body validation bypass affects fastify/fastify (generic). Severity is high. Fastify is a fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js.

This issue has been patched in version 5.7.2.
AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in generic. A high vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
