Read full description
@fastify/cors is the CORS plugin for the Fastify web framework. In versions 8.2.0 through 11.3.x, an application that registers the plugin with the non-default onSend hook option crashes on a CORS preflight. On an OPTIONS request that carries the Origin and Access-Control-Request-Method headers, the plugin calls reply.send from inside the onSend hook and re-enters the send pipeline, so a second write of the response headers throws an uncaught ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT that can terminate the Node.js process when no process-level handler is installed. An unauthenticated remote client can trigger this with a single preflight request, so the impact is availability only, and exploitation requires the non-default onSend configuration. The issue is fixed in @fastify/cors 11.4.0, where onSend is no longer an accepted hook value and registration fails with a clear error instead of crashing at request time, and users should upgrade to 11.4.0 or later. As a workaround, use any other hook such as the default onRequest, or set preflight to false.

Evidence context and dated references

Reality is general threat/review priority, combining observed exploitation, CVSS severity and fresh EPSS. Evidence confidence is separate. This is not calibrated risk, a victim count or an asset-specific assessment. A range reflects missing numeric inputs. Published 6 days ago. Exploitation evidence usually takes weeks to show up: a low reality score can mean there is no data yet, not that the flaw is mild.
