CVE-2026-118662
Vite: `server.fs.deny` bypassed with queries
Vite is a frontend tooling framework for JavaScript. From 6.4.4 until 6.4.5, the Vite development server can evaluate server.fs.deny before stripping loader query parameters such as ?raw, ?import&raw, or ?import&url&inline. When the development server is exposed to the network and a sensitive file is inside server.fs.allow but matched by server.fs.deny, an unauthenticated attacker can append one of these queries and retrieve the denied file. This issue is fixed in version 6.4.5.

Vite: `server.fs.deny` bypassed with queries
Summary
The contents of files that are specified by server.fs.deny can be returned to the browser. This is the same as https://github.com/vitejs/vite/security/advisories/GHSA-v2wj-q39q-566r.
Impact
Only apps that match the following conditions are affected:
- explicitly exposes the Vite dev server to the network (using
--hostorserver.hostconfig option) - the sensitive file exists in the allowed directories specified by
server.fs.allow - the sensitive file is denied with a pattern that matches a file by
server.fs.deny
Details
On the Vite dev server, files that should be blocked by server.fs.deny (e.g., .env, *.crt) can be retrieved with HTTP 200 responses when query parameters such as ?raw, ?import&raw, or ?import&url&inline are appended.
For the fix for https://github.com/vitejs/vite/security/advisories/GHSA-rq7h-c2jc-7f22, v6.4.4 back-ported https://github.com/vitejs/vite/pull/20410. But while that PR requires https://github.com/vitejs/vite/pull/22160 for https://github.com/vitejs/vite/security/advisories/GHSA-v2wj-q39q-566r, https://github.com/vitejs/vite/pull/22160 wasn't back-ported together causing v6 vulnerable to https://github.com/vitejs/vite/security/advisories/GHSA-v2wj-q39q-566r.
