GHSA-6v32-fjc9-9qf6
GHSA-6v32-fjc9-9qf6 is a security vulnerability in @nestjs/platform-fastify. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-6v32-fjc9-9qf6 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Nest: Middleware Bypass on Fastify via Trailing Slash
Real-World Exposure
@nestjs/platform-fastifyReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects npm packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in @nestjs/platform-fastify (confirmed on version 11.1.24, the latest available release at time of report). When middleware is registered through NestJS's MiddlewareConsumer.forRoutes() API on the Fastify adapter, an unauthenticated client can bypass the Nest middleware registered for that route by simply appending a trailing slash (/) to the request URL.
This bypass works on the default Fastify adapter configuration — no special router options need to be enabled. Applications using the standard CRUD route shape (GET /resource and GET /resource/:id) are affected when they protect those routes with MiddlewareConsumer.forRoutes() middleware.
Patches
Fixed in @nestjs/[email protected]

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @nestjs/platform-fastify. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update @nestjs/platform-fastify to 11.1.24 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-6v32-fjc9-9qf6 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-6v32-fjc9-9qf6 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-6v32-fjc9-9qf6. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-6v32-fjc9-9qf6 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-6v32-fjc9-9qf6 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
