GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

CVE-2026-25223

Impact

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 affects all Fastify users who rely on Content-Type-based body validation schemas to enforce data integrity or security constraints. The concrete impact depends on the handler implementation and the level of trust placed in the validated request body, but at the library level, this allows complete bypass of body validation for any handler using Content-Type-discriminated schemas.

This issue is a regression or missed edge case from the fix for a previously reported vulnerability.

Patches

This vulnerability has been patched in Fastify v5.7.2. All users should upgrade to this version or later immediately.

Workarounds

If upgrading is not immediately possible, user can implement a custom onRequest hook to reject requests containing tab characters in the Content-Type header:

fastify.addHook('onRequest', async (request, reply) => {
  const contentType = request.headers['content-type']
  if (contentType && contentType.includes('\t')) {
    reply.code(400).send({ error: 'Invalid Content-Type header' })
  }
})

⚠️ Notice ⚠️

Parsing of the content-type header has been improved to a strict parser in PR #​6414. This means only header values in the form described in RFC 9110 are accepted.

⚠️ Security Release ⚠️

Unfortunately, v5.3.1 did not include a complete fix for "Invalid content-type parsing could lead to validation bypass" and CVE-2025-32442. This is a follow-up patch to cover an edge case.

Once #3409 is in, we can drop this (or it renovate will do so automatically?).
