NVD description

Vite a frontend build tooling framework for javascript. In affected versions the contents of arbitrary files can be returned to the browser. `@fs` denies access to files outside of Vite serving allow list. Adding `?import&raw` to the URL bypasses this limitation and returns the file content if it exists. This issue has been patched in versions 5.4.6, 5.3.6, 5.2.14, 4.5.5, and 3.2.11. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

    Active Exploitation

    A mass-scanning operation is exploiting exposed Vite development servers to retrieve cloud credentials, configuration data, and other secrets from AWS and Azure environments. - Attackers exploit CVE-2026-39364 by manipulating query parameters to bypass file-access restrictions and return protected files in plaintext. - Scanning targets environment files, AWS and Azure credentials, Terraform state, serverless configurations, process environment data, and system files, with traversal and encoding variants used to evade filtering. - F5 observed more than 800 attacks and approximately 32,000 events over one month; activity originated mainly from the United States, Belgium, and the Netherlands and used Google Cloud IP ranges. - Related activity also exploited CVE-2025-30208, CVE-2025-31125, and CVE-2024-45811. Exposed servers should be patched and reachable secrets rotated.

    Post summary

    The text reports active, large-scale exploitation of CVE-2026-39364 (and related CVEs) against exposed Vite development servers to steal cloud credentials, citing specific attack volumes observed by F5 and urging immediate patching and secret rotation.

    Active Exploitation

    Automated scanning in August 2026 increasingly exploited exposed Vite development servers to steal cloud credentials and deployment data. - Attackers abused CVE-2026-39364, an unauthenticated access-control bypass affecting specified Vite versions, by manipulating query parameters on the internal @ fs route. - Scanners also tested CVE-2025-30208, CVE-2025-31125, and CVE-2024-45811 using extensive wordlists targeting environment files, AWS and Azure credential stores, Terraform state, serverless artifacts, and Linux process data. - Honeypot telemetry recorded 807 session-grouped attacks and approximately 32,000 raw events; exposed files could enable cloud account takeover, lateral movement, or broader infrastructure compromise.
