CVE-2026-74866

@fastify/busboy is a multipart form-data parser for Node.js. Its multipart part-header parser splits header lines only on the two-byte carriage-return line-feed sequence, so a lone carriage return or line feed embedded in a part header is not treated as a line break and is carried verbatim into the parsed Content-Disposition filename and field name handed to the application. An attacker who uploads a file whose filename or field name contains a bare carriage return or line feed can inject control characters into consumers that trust the parser to return clean values, enabling filesystem filename pollution, log forging, or header injection when the value is forwarded to a carriage-return-sensitive sink. All versions of @fastify/busboy up to and including 3.2.1 are affected. The issue is fixed in version 3.2.2, which rejects any header line that still contains a bare carriage return or line feed. Users should upgrade to 3.2.2, and consumers such as @fastify/multipart should bump their @fastify/busboy dependency to pull in the fix.

Impact

@fastify/busboy 3.2.1 and earlier retains a bare carriage return or line feed inside the parsed Content-Disposition parameters returned to the application. The multipart header parser ends a header line only on the two-byte \r\n sequence, so a lone CR or LF embedded in a part header is carried verbatim into the filename and field name delivered by the file and field events. An application that forwards the supplied filename or name into a CR/LF-sensitive sink cannot anticipate the embedded control character.

An attacker who uploads a file whose filename or field name contains a bare CR or LF can pollute filenames on disk when the upload is saved under its original name, inject forged lines into logs, or inject headers on a downstream hop that does not re-validate CR/LF, such as object-storage metadata or a proxied backend. Applications using @fastify/busboy directly, or through @fastify/multipart and its consumers, are affected.

Patches

Upgrade to @fastify/busboy 3.2.2 or later.

Workarounds

Validate or strip carriage return and line feed characters from the filename and field name before using them in any filesystem, logging, or outbound-header context.

TuxCare rebuilt @fastify/busboy to address 2 CVEs. Fixed in 2.1.1-tuxcare.1.
