Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Fastify versions 5.12.2 up to but not including 5.12.6 are affected. When a headers schema uses a propertyNames deny-list or allow-list written in canonical header case, such as X-Debug-Override, the constraint does not match the lowercased request headers, so the forbidden header can reach the handler. The source does not state the attacker's prerequisites beyond sending a request. Upgrade to fastify 5.12.6 or later, which lowercases header names in propertyNames enum and const values; alternatively, write those constraints in lowercase or check headers in an onRequest or preValidation hook.
