fastify-http-proxy is an npm package which is a fastify plugin for proxying your http requests to another server, with hooks. By crafting a specific URL, it is possible to escape the prefix of the proxied backend service. If the base url of the proxied server is /pub/, a user expect that accessing /priv on the target service would not be possible. In affected versions, it is possible. This is fixed in version 4.3.1.
