New CVE NOT AVAILABLE CWE-497  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade nuxt to version 4.4.7 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere via the unauthenticated /.well-known/appspecific/com.chrome.devtools.json endpoint, which exposes the absolute filesystem path of the project and a persistent workspace UUID. An attacker can obtain sensitive information about the development environment by sending direct HTTP requests to the exposed endpoint when the development server is running and accessible on a non-loopback interface or through DNS rebinding attacks.

Note: This is only exploitable if the development server is started with host binding to a non-loopback interface or if DNS rebinding is possible.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by setting experimental: { chromeDevtoolsProjectSettings: false } in the configuration.
