DescriptionCVE.org

@fastify/multipart is a multipart form-data parser for Fastify. In versions from 5.3.0 up to but not including 10.1.1, when the busboy fileSize limit truncates a file part, the plugin clears its internal current-file reference while the underlying stream is still open. If the client then aborts the connection before sending the terminating boundary, the abort cleanup finds no stream to destroy, so saveRequestFiles() never settles, the request handler hangs, and the temporary file already written to disk is never cleaned up. An unauthenticated client can repeat this to permanently leak temporary files and suspended handler executions, leading to disk and event-loop exhaustion. The issue is fixed in @fastify/multipart 10.1.1. Users should upgrade to 10.1.1.

AnalysisAI

Uncontrolled resource consumption in @fastify/multipart (versions 5.3.0 through 10.1.0) allows any unauthenticated remote client to permanently leak temporary files on disk and suspend Fastify request handler executions, ultimately exhausting both disk space and the Node.js event loop. The root defect is a state-management flaw: when busboy's fileSize limit truncates an incoming file part, the plugin prematurely clears its internal stream reference, so a subsequent client-initiated abort finds nothing to clean up, leaving saveRequestFiles() awaiting a settlement that never arrives. …
