Summary

In Nuxt from 4.6.0 until 4.6.3, a client with TCP access to an exposed Nuxt development server can send a nuxt:dev:client-error event over the HMR socket with an absolute file path at the end of its message. The development server reads that file while building the client error report and returns its contents through the error overlay, development error channel, and terminal report, bypassing Vite's server.fs allow list. The default localhost binding limits remote exposure, cross-origin browser requests are rejected, production builds and Nuxt 3 are not affected, and no browser interaction is required. This is fixed in version 4.6.3.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could read arbitrary files accessible to the development server process, potentially exposing sensitive data including secrets and configuration. The risk affects exposed development servers.

Recommendation

Upgrade Nuxt to version 4.6.3 or later. Do not expose the development server beyond localhost and restrict network access to the HMR port.
