Summary

Vite versions from 8.2.0 before 8.2.4 and from 8.3.0 before 8.3.3 are affected, as are vite-plus versions from 0.2.8 before 1.1.0. A request containing the ?vite-wasm-instance query reads files outside the server.fs setting without applying its checks. When the WebAssembly parse of such a file fails, the error message contains the file's first 4 bytes (CWE-209), so a remote attacker without privileges or user interaction can read those bytes.

Description from the CNA

Vite is a frontend tooling framework for JavaScript. From 8.2.0 until 8.2.4 and 8.3.3, the first 4 bytes of files outside of server.fs setting can be returned to the browser by a request containing ?vite-wasm-instance. Requests containing the ?vite-wasm-instance query are handled by the internal Wasm plugin's load hook. The hook removes the query and reads the resulting path directly from disk, but the server.fs checks were not applied. After reading the file, Vite attempts to parse it as WebAssembly. When that parse fails, Node and deno throws an error that contains the first 4 bytes of the file. This vulnerability is fixed in 8.2.4 and 8.3.3.
