Detailsinfo
A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in fastify express up to 4.0.4. Affected is the function onRegister. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a interpretation conflict vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-436. Product A handles inputs or steps differently than Product B, which causes A to perform incorrect actions based on its perception of B's state. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
@fastify/express v4.0.4 and earlier contains a path handling bug in the onRegister function that causes middleware paths to be doubled when inherited by child plugins. When a child plugin is registered with a prefix that matches a middleware path, the middleware path is prefixed a second time, causing it to never match incoming requests. This results in complete bypass of Express middleware security controls, including authentication, authorization, and rate limiting, for all routes defined within affected child plugin scopes. No special configuration or request crafting is required. Upgrade to @fastify/express v4.0.5 or later.
