New CVE NOT AVAILABLE CWE-276 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade nuxt to version 3.21.7, 4.4.7 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Default Permissions via the module and resolve request types in the internal IPC server. An attacker can access sensitive files and secrets by connecting to the world-accessible abstract-namespace Unix socket and issuing crafted requests.
Note: This is only exploitable if the development server is running on a shared multi-tenant Linux host outside of containerized or isolated environments.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by running the development process inside a container or VM with no other tenants, binding the process to a single-user namespace, or restricting /proc/net/unix visibility via hidepid=2 mount options.
