Vite (French word for "quick", pronounced /viːt/, like "veet") is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects. It consists of two major parts:
Run this in your terminal to verify the server starts. Then let us know if it worked - your result helps other developers.
npx -y 'vite' 2>&1 | head -1 && echo "✓ Server started successfully"

launch-editor: NTLMv2 hash disclosure via UNC path handling on Windows
### Summary The `launch-editor` NPM package accesses arbitrary paths including Windows UNC paths. When a UNC path is opened, Windows automatically attempts NTLM authentication to the remote host, causing the user’s NTLMv2 password hash to be leaked to an attacker-controlled SMB server. This can result in credential compromise through offline hash cracking. ### Impact If the following conditions are met, an attacker can get the NTLMv2 password hash on the computer that is using the `launch-edit
vite: `server.fs.deny` bypass on Windows alternate paths
### Summary The contents of files that are specified by [`server.fs.deny`](https://vite.dev/config/server-options#server-fs-deny) can be returned to the browser on Windows. ### Impact Only apps that match the following conditions are affected: - explicitly exposes the Vite dev server to the network (using `--host` or [`server.host` config option](https://vitejs.dev/config/server-options.html#server-host)) - the sensitive file exists in the allowed directories specified by [`server.fs.allow`]
launch-editor vulnerable to command injection via the crafted request on Windows
### Summary Due to the insufficient sanitization of the `file` argument in the `launchEditor`, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands on Windows by supplying a filename that contains special characters. ### Impact If the following conditions are met, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the computer that is using the `launch-editor`: - An attacker can place a file with the malicious filename - An attacker can call the `launchEditor` method with the `file` argument controlled - The
Vite Vulnerable to Path Traversal in Optimized Deps `.map` Handling
### Summary Any files ending with `.map` even out side the project can be returned to the browser. ### Impact Only apps that match the following conditions are affected: - explicitly exposes the Vite dev server to the network (using `--host` or [`server.host` config option](https://vitejs.dev/config/server-options.html#server-host)) - have a sensitive content in files ending with `.map` and the path is predictable ### Details In Vite v7.3.1, the dev server’s handling of `.map` requests for
