MEDIUM 5.3 npm KEV
Vite has a `server.fs.deny` bypassed for `inline` and `raw` with `?import` query
GHSA-4r4m-qw57-chr8 · CVE-2025-31125
Published · Modified
Description
Summary
The contents of arbitrary files can be returned to the browser.
Impact
Only apps explicitly exposing the Vite dev server to the network (using --host or server.host config option) are affected.
Details
- base64 encoded content of non-allowed files is exposed using
?inline&import(originally reported as?import&?inline=1.wasm?init) - content of non-allowed files is exposed using
?raw?import
/@fs/ isn't needed to reproduce the issue for files inside the project root.
PoC
Original report (check details above for simplified cases):
The ?import&?inline=1.wasm?init ending allows attackers to read arbitrary files and returns the file content if it exists. Base64 decoding needs to be performed twice
$ npm create vite@latest
$ cd vite-project/
$ npm install
$ npm run dev
