AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
AC:H because exploitation requires simultaneous non-default debug-flag use and attacker network reachability to the Inspector port; all other metrics match full network RCE with no auth.

Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
fastify-cli starts the Node.js Inspector when a debug flag is used, but it ignores the explicit bind address the user supplies and binds the Inspector to a broadly reachable address instead of the intended loopback. As a result the debugging interface can be exposed beyond the local machine, and because the Inspector protocol allows arbitrary code evaluation, a remote party that reaches it can achieve remote code execution on the developer's machine. This affects fastify-cli from 1.5.0 up to 8.0.1. Users should upgrade to fastify-cli 8.0.1, which honors the configured Inspector bind address.

AnalysisAI
Remote code execution is possible in fastify-cli 1.5.0 through 8.0.0 when the Node.js Inspector is activated via a debug flag: the CLI ignores the user-supplied bind address and instead binds the Inspector to an overly broad network interface, exposing it beyond the local loopback. Because the Node.js Inspector protocol (Chrome DevTools Protocol) permits unrestricted JavaScript evaluation, any remote party that can reach the exposed Inspector port gains full code execution on the developer's machine with no authentication required. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires two simultaneous conditions: (1) fastify-cli must be invoked with a debug or inspect flag by the developer - this is a non-default, explicit user action and does not affect production deployments that omit the flag; (2) the Node.js Inspector port (default TCP 9229, or a user-specified port that is nonetheless bound broadly) must be network-reachable from the attacker, which does not occur by default on properly firewalled local workstations. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H yields a score of 8.1. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade fastify-cli to version 8.0.1, which correctly passes the user-supplied Inspector bind address through to the Node.js Inspector spawn, limiting the Inspector to the intended loopback or configured interface. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
