GHSA-p6vg-p826-qp3v
MEDIUMGHSA-p6vg-p826-qp3v is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.1) Open Redirect vulnerability in fastify-static. 1 public exploit reference exists, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-p6vg-p826-qp3v is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
How urgent is this, really
GHSA-p6vg-p826-qp3v plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 365,950 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, a proxy for how much of the ecosystem is exposed.
fastify-staticnpmDescription
Impact
A redirect vulnerability in the fastify-static module allows remote attackers to redirect Mozilla Firefox users to arbitrary websites via a double slash // followed by a domain: http://localhost:3000//google.com/%2e%2e.
The issue shows up on all the fastify-static applications that set redirect: true option. By default, it is false.
Patches
The issue has been patched in [email protected]
Workarounds
If updating is not an option, you can sanitize the input URLs using the rewriteUrl server option.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for fastify-static. 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 fastify-static to 4.2.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-p6vg-p826-qp3v 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-p6vg-p826-qp3v 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-p6vg-p826-qp3v. 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-p6vg-p826-qp3v in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-p6vg-p826-qp3v across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
