Vite dev server - Cross-Site Scripting

id: CVE-2023-49293

info:
  name: Vite dev server - Cross-Site Scripting
  author: ritikchaddha
  severity: medium
  description: |
    Vite's dev server, when used with `appType: 'custom'` and manually invoking `server.transformIndexHtml` using the unmodified request URL, is vulnerable to XSS via a crafted URL payload. If the HTML being served includes an inline module script (`<script type="module">...</script>`), an attacker can inject a script via the URL, potentially leading to XSS in the browser. The vulnerability only affects certain custom SSR/dev configurations, not plain `vite dev`.
  impact: |
    Attackers can inject malicious HTML into the page, potentially leading to cross-site scripting or other client-side attacks.
  remediation: |
    Update to vite@5.0.5, vite@4.5.1, or vite@4.4.12.
