NewCVE-2025-31486 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade vite to version 4.5.12, 5.4.17, 6.0.14, 6.1.4, 6.2.5 or higher.
Overview
vite is a Native-ESM powered web dev build tool
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the bypass of the server.fs.deny restriction. An attacker can access restricted files by appending ?.svg with ?.wasm?init or with sec-fetch-dest: script header to the requests.
Note:
This is only exploitable if the file is smaller than the build.assetsInlineLimit (default: 4kB), when using Vite 6.0+ and when the Vite dev server is explicitly exposed to the network (using --host or server.host config option.
