@astrojs/node: Backslash-prefixed paths not recognized as internal by trailing-slash redirect

CVE-2026-59730GHSA-r557-wffq-wvrc

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (@astrojs/node 11.0.2), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact With trailingSlash: 'always' configured, the @astrojs/node standalone server's static file handler appends a trailing slash to request paths and issues a 301 redirect. Paths beginning with /\ (slash-backslash) were not recognized as internal paths, so the handler would echo the raw path back in the Location header. Because browsers treat \ as / per the WHATWG URL specification, the resulting redirect could resolve to an external host. Preconditions: - trailingSlash: 'always' must be set (non-default; the default is 'ignore') - The request path must not have a file extension in its final segment - An attacker must deliver the crafted link to a user Patches Fixed by treating backslash-prefixed paths the same as //-prefixed paths in isInternalPath(), so they are no longer rewritten with a trailing slash. Workarounds Use the default trailingSlash: 'ignore' setting, which does not issue trailing-slash redirects in the static file handler. References - WHATWG URL spec: backslash…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-59730

Advisory: @astrojs/node: Backslash-prefixed paths not recognized as internal by trailing-slash redirect
IDs: CVE-2026-59730, GHSA-r557-wffq-wvrc
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-59730 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:01 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Low (CVSS 2.1)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: @astrojs/node 11.0.2. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm @astrojs/node: affected >= 8.1.0, < 11.0.2; fixed in 11.0.2

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls @astrojs/node --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on @astrojs/node.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
