# CVE-2026-59730: @astrojs/node: Backslash-prefixed paths not recognized as internal by trailing-slash redirect

- Also known as: GHSA-R557-WFFQ-WVRC
- Severity: CVSS 2.1 (Low), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:L/SA:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 11.0.2
- Published: 2026-07-27 · Updated: 2026-07-28

## Affected

- withastro astro: from 8.1.0, fixed in 11.0.2
- @astrojs/node (npm): from 8.1.0, fixed in 11.0.2

## Description

Astro is a web framework for content-driven websites. In versions 8.1.0 through 11.0.1, when trailingSlash: 'always' is 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 for exploitation: trailingSlash: 'always' must be set (non-default; the default is 'ignore'), the request path must not have a file extension in its final segment, and an attacker must deliver the crafted link to a user. This issue has been fixed in version 11.0.2.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on withastro astro, @astrojs/node, upgrade to a fixed version (11.0.2) per the references below.
