Internal endpoint disclosure via backslash path traversal
Published Sep 3, 2026 · Updated Sep 3, 2026
Path traversal in Fastify @fastify/http-proxy before 11.6.2 allows remote attackers to disclose internal endpoints via crafted HTTP paths. The plain HTTP handler forwards backslash dot-segments without the destination-boundary validation used for WebSockets, and URL resolution collapses them beyond rewritePrefix. Exposure requires an application to use prefix and rewritePrefix as an upstream path boundary; the reported consequence is disclosure, without integrity or availability impact.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
