DescriptionCVE.org

@fastify/static is a Fastify plugin that serves static files from a configured root directory. In versions before 10.1.4, on a case-insensitive filesystem such as Windows or the default macOS volume, a route guard or allowedPath restriction can be bypassed by altering the letter case of a path segment. The route matcher is case-sensitive while the filesystem is not, so a request that changes the case of a protected segment does not match the guarded route and falls through to the static handler, yet the filesystem resolves it to the same protected file. As a result, an unauthenticated request can read a file that a route guard or allowedPath was configured to protect. The issue does not affect case-sensitive filesystems and is not a directory traversal, since nothing is served from outside the configured root. The issue is fixed in @fastify/static 10.1.4, which validates the requested path against its actual on-disk spelling and rejects case-aliased paths before authorization. As a workaround, serve static files from a case-sensitive filesystem, or ensure route guards and allowedPath rules account for every letter-case variant of the protected paths.

AnalysisAI

Authorization bypass in @fastify/static before 10.1.4 lets an unauthenticated remote attacker read files that a route guard or allowedPath rule was meant to protect, but only when the server runs on a case-insensitive filesystem such as Windows or a default macOS APFS volume. The plugin's route matcher is case-sensitive while the underlying filesystem is not, so requesting a protected segment with altered letter case (for example '/Admin/secret' instead of '/admin/secret') misses the guard and still resolves to the same on-disk file; CVSS 3.1 rates this 5.3 (Medium) with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, reflecting a confidentiality-only impact limited to files inside the configured static root. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three concrete conditions to all hold: (1) the @fastify/static plugin at a version before 10.1.4; (2) the server runs on a case-insensitive filesystem - specifically Windows, or the default (case-insensitive) macOS APFS volume - the flaw does NOT affect case-sensitive Linux filesystems; and (3) the application relies on a route guard or an allowedPath restriction to protect specific files under the static root. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine but moderate-severity confidentiality issue, correctly rated 5.3 (Medium). … 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 Vendor-released patch: 10.1.4. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
