How to fix?

Upgrade org.webjars.npm:vite to version 5.4.9 or higher.

Overview

org.webjars.npm:vite is a Native-ESM powered web dev build tool

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Path Equivalence such that Server Options (server.fs.deny) can be bypassed using double forward-slash (//) allowing any unauthenticated user to read files from the Vite root-path of the application including the default fs.deny settings (['.env', '.env.*', '*.{crt,pem}']).

Note:

Only users explicitly exposing the Vite dev server to the network (using --host or server.host config option) are affected, and only files in the immediate Vite project root folder could be exposed.
