CVE-2026-112947 PUBLISHED

Vite: First 4 bytes of files outside of `server.fs` setting is exposed by `?vite-wasm-instance`

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 19.10.2026 Published: 20.10.2026 Updated: 20.10.2026

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.
