@fastify/multipart fixed: 9.0.3 
npm install @fastify/multipart@9.0.3
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls @fastify/multipart

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2025-24033, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls @fastify/multipart

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @fastify/multipart in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 8.3.1), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls @fastify/multipart command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
