NVD description

Vite is a frontend tooling framework for JavaScript. From 7.1.0 to before 7.3.2 and 8.0.5, on the Vite dev server, files that should be blocked by server.fs.deny (e.g., .env, *.crt) can be retrieved with HTTP 200 responses when query parameters such as ?raw, ?import&raw, or ?import&url&inline are appended. This vulnerability is fixed in 7.3.2 and 8.0.5.

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 mass-scanning exploitation of CVE-2026-39364 in Vite development servers to access sensitive files, with evidence of widespread real-world attacks and a recommendation to patch and rotate secrets.

Vite Dev Servers Are Being Mass-Scanned to Steal AWS and Azure Cloud Credentials, 16,400+ Instances Exposed. A mass-scanning campaign is exploiting CVE-2026-39364 in Internet exposed Vite development servers to harvest AWS and Azure credentials, (.)env files, and Terraform infrastructure state files. The credential harvesting activity was observed in August and September 2026. Telemetry from Cortex Xpanse indicated over 16,400 exposed instances at the time, affecting sectors including financial services, healthcare, and government across multiple continents. Development servers that are accidentally exposed to the internet have become a primary entry point for cloud credential theft, and the secrets they contain can unlock far more than the dev environment itself.
