Summary
@fastify/busboy versions 3.1.0 through 3.2.0 are vulnerable to a DoS attack that stalls the Node.js event loop by sending a multipart request with a boundary of a specific length. A single small request can keep one core busy and deny service to other requests. The issue is fixed in version 3.2.1.
Risk Assessment
Risk includes disruption of Node.js-based services, potentially leading to application unavailability.
Recommendation
Upgrade @fastify/busboy to version 3.2.1 or later.
Other vulnerabilities in @fastify/busboy
See all- CVE-2026-74866Medium
@fastify/busboy is a multipart form-data parser for Node.js. Its part-header parser splits lines only on CRLF, so a lone CR or LF in a header is not treated as a line break and is passed verbatim to the filename and field name. An attacker can inject control characters, leading to filesystem filename pollution, log forging, or header injection. Versions up to 3.2.1 are affected; fixed in 3.2.2.
- CVE-2026-19481High
@fastify/busboy versions 1.0.0 through 3.2.0 are vulnerable to a parser crash by sending a part header whose name is a prototype-inherited property such as __proto__ or constructor. This can trigger a TypeError and potentially terminate the Node.js process, causing an unauthenticated denial of service. The issue is fixed in version 3.2.1.
Original NVD description (English source)
@fastify/busboy is a multipart form-data parser. In versions 3.1.0 through 3.2.0, a remote unauthenticated attacker can stall the Node.js event loop by sending a multipart request whose boundary is crafted to a specific length. The vendored streaming search stores its skip table in a fixed 256 entry byte array, and a boundary of exactly 252 bytes makes the search needle 256 bytes, which truncates the default skip distance to zero and turns the search into a CPU bound loop on a small body. A single small request can keep one core busy and deny service to other requests handled by the same process. The issue is fixed in @fastify/busboy 3.2.1, which widens the skip table so the skip distance is preserved. Users should upgrade to 3.2.1.
