fastify vulnerable to X-Forwarded-* spoofing under trustProxy hop-count

The fix for CVE-2026-3635 (GHSA-444r-cwp2-x5xf) added a proxyFn(socket.remoteAddress, 0) guard on the X-Forwarded-* reads in request.host, request.protocol, request.hostname, request.ip, and request.ips. That guard closes the IP, CIDR, and custom-function forms of trustProxy correctly because those forms compile to predicates that inspect the connecting address. The hop-count form (trustProxy: <number>) compiles to a predicate that structurally ignores the address argument, so the guard reduces to 0 < tp, always true for any tp >= 1.

Applications configured with trustProxy: <number> (documented as "behind N reverse proxies", trustProxy: 1 being the canonical single-proxy setting) remain vulnerable. An attacker who can reach the Fastify origin directly, bypassing the front-facing proxy, can spoof the request fields exactly as in the unpatched version. Impact class matches the parent CVE-2026-3635: host injection in generated URLs, HTTPS-enforcement bypass, secure-cookie / CSRF-origin bypass, host-based routing and cache poisoning.

Patched in fastify 5.12.1. The numeric form of trustProxy is now disabled at runtime and removed from the TypeScript type union.

• Migrate to an IP / CIDR / custom-function trustProxy value that validates the connecting address. Custom functions must inspect the address argument, not only the hop index.
• Ensure the Fastify origin is only reachable through the trusted proxy chain (no direct network path).
