Vite Arbitrary File Read (CVE-2025-30208, CVE-2025-31125)
Description
Vite, a popular frontend build tool, contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability (CVE-2025-30208, CVE-2025-31125) that allows attackers to read sensitive files from the server's filesystem. This vulnerability affects the development server and can expose configuration files, source code, environment variables, and other confidential data that should not be accessible to unauthorized users.
Remediation
Immediately upgrade Vite to a patched version that addresses CVE-2025-30208 and CVE-2025-31125. Review the official GitHub Security Advisories for specific version requirements and upgrade paths. After upgrading, verify that the development server is not exposed to untrusted networks or the public internet. If running Vite in production (not recommended), ensure proper access controls and network segmentation are in place. Audit server logs for any suspicious file access attempts that may indicate prior exploitation. Rotate any credentials or secrets that may have been exposed if exploitation is suspected.
