Low risk30th percentile - higher than 30% of all known CVEs
Summary
webpack-dev-middleware incorrectly validates request paths, allowing file reads outside the output directory. The issue occurs when publicPath lacks a trailing slash and an attacker uses a specially crafted path. This is an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-29180.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can read files from the parent directory, potentially leading to disclosure of sensitive data if the server uses a physical filesystem.
Recommendation
Update webpack-dev-middleware to the latest version with the complete fix. Ensure publicPath has a trailing slash or use a secure configuration.

Original NVD description (English source)
webpack-dev-middleware resolves a request to a local file in getFilenameFromUrl by testing the request pathname against a traversal guard and then slicing it at a fixed character offset. The guard, UP_PATH_REGEXP applied to path.normalize(`./${pathname}`), only matches ".." that stands as a whole path segment, while the containment test is the string comparison pathname.startsWith(publicPathPathname) and the file path is built as path.join(outputPath, pathname.slice(publicPathPathname.length)). When the configured publicPath has no trailing slash, a request such as GET /assets../.env against publicPath /assets yields the pathname /assets../.env, whose only dot-dot sits inside the segment "assets.." and so passes the guard, but the offset slice cuts within that segment and hands "../.env" to path.join, resolving one directory above outputPath. Reading a file from that path requires the middleware to be backed by the physical filesystem, which happens when writeToDisk is true or a custom outputFileSystem is supplied, since the default memfs volume holds only build output. Traversal depth is limited to a single directory because a separately delimited dot-dot segment is collapsed during URL parsing before the guard runs. The default publicPath value of "auto" resolves to "/" and is not affected. This is an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-29180: the guard and offset slice were introduced by that fix and are present in every release from 5.3.4, 6.1.2 and 7.1.0 onward.
