Upgrade org.webjars.npm:webpack-dev-server to version 5.2.7, 6.1.0 or higher.
Overview
org.webjars.npm:webpack-dev-server is an Uses webpack with a development server that provides live reloading. It should be used for development only.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure via the isValidHost method in lib/Server.js, where Host and :authority headers are not properly validated against malformed or URL-encoded values. An attacker can send a request with a malformed Host header that bypasses the allowedHosts check, allowing unauthorized access to the webpack-dev-server. Additionally, the editor URL handler constructs a URL using the untrusted Host header as the base, which can be exploited to cause unexpected behavior through a malformed request.
