@fastify/multipart: Incomplete Cleanup
CVE-2026-19474 is a high-severity incomplete cleanup vulnerability in @fastify/multipart, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 10.1.1 as the first without the flaw, so updating @fastify/multipart to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.49% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update @fastify/multipart to 10.1.1 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on cna.openjsf.org for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
@fastify/multipart is a multipart form-data parser for Fastify. In versions from 3.0.0 up to but not including 10.1.1, request.saveRequestFiles() can leave completed temporary files on disk when a client disconnects while the parser is advancing between multipart parts. The iterator rejection that occurs between parts falls outside the per-file cleanup path, so an earlier completed file is never removed. An unauthenticated client can repeat this to cause persistent, linear disk consumption, leading to denial of service. This is an incomplete-fix variant of CVE-2025-24033. The issue is fixed in @fastify/multipart 10.1.1. Users should upgrade to 10.1.1.

The underlying weakness: Incomplete Cleanup
The product does not properly clean up and remove temporary or supporting resources after they have been used.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Temporary files and other supporting resources should be deleted/released immediately after they are no longer needed.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: yes, technical impact: partial).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
