4.8 MEDIUM

AV:A because LAN presence is required; AC:H for multi-condition prerequisites (--host flag, developer interaction, triple header suppression); PR:N as attacker needs no credentials; UI:R for required developer action; C:H for full source disclosure; I/A:N as no write or availability impact applies.

DescriptionCVE.org

Nuxt is an open-source web development framework for Vue.js. In @nuxt/rspack-builder and @nuxt/webpack-builder from versions 3.15.4 to before 3.21.7 and 4.0.0 to before 4.4.7, there is an incomplete fix for GHSA-6m52-m754-pw2g. Source code may still be stolen during dev when using the webpack / rspack builder if the dev server is bound to a non-loopback address (e.g. nuxt dev --host) and the developer opens a malicious site on the same network. This issue has been patched in versions 3.21.7 and 4.4.7.

AnalysisAI

Source code exfiltration in Nuxt's @nuxt/webpack-builder and @nuxt/rspack-builder (versions 3.15.4-3.21.6 and 4.0.0-alpha.1-4.4.6) enables a LAN-adjacent attacker to read a developer's full application source from the webpack dev server when it is bound to a non-loopback address via nuxt dev --host. This is a second incomplete fix in a chain stemming from GHSA-4gf7-ff8x-hq99: the previous patch (GHSA-6m52-m754-pw2g) relied on Sec-Fetch-* metadata headers that browsers silently omit for non-trustworthy (plain HTTP) origins, leaving a bypass when an attacker page strips all three identifying headers (Sec-Fetch-Site, Origin, Referer) simultaneously. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Recon
Developer starts `nuxt dev --host` exposing LAN dev server
Delivery
Attacker on same network crafts HTTP page with no-referrer policy
Exploit
Developer visits attacker page in browser
Install
`<script>` tag silently loads `/_nuxt/app.js` with no metadata headers
C2
Unpatched fallback permits header-absent request
Execute
Webpack chunks returned to attacker page
Impact
Source code iterated and exfiltrated

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Two simultaneous non-default conditions are required. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Real-world risk is moderate-to-low in practice despite the High confidentiality impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A developer on a shared office or conference Wi-Fi starts their Nuxt app with `nuxt dev --host 0.0.0.0` to test on a phone. An attacker on the same network hosts a plain HTTP page that embeds a `<script src="http://[dev-ip]:3000/_nuxt/app.js">` tag - no Origin, Referer, or Sec-Fetch-Site headers are sent because the attacker page is a non-trustworthy HTTP origin with `Referrer-Policy: no-referrer`. …
Remediation Upgrade @nuxt/rspack-builder and @nuxt/webpack-builder to the patched version. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
