CVE-2026-41211: CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in voidzero-dev vite-plus
CVE-2026-41211 is a path traversal vulnerability in vite-plus versions prior to 0. 1. 17. The function downloadPackageManager() improperly handles an untrusted version string, allowing an attacker to supply path segments like '.. /' or absolute paths. This can cause vite-plus to delete, replace, or populate directories outside its intended cache location. The vulnerability has a high severity with a CVSS score of 8. 4. A patch was introduced in version 0. 1.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Vite+ is a web development toolchain that, before version 0.1.17, contained a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the downloadPackageManager() function. This function accepts a version string that is used directly in filesystem paths without proper sanitization. An attacker can exploit this by providing '../' sequences or absolute paths to escape the designated cache directory (VP_HOME/package_manager/<pm>/) and manipulate files or directories outside this location. This can lead to unauthorized deletion, replacement, or creation of files on the filesystem. The vulnerability is rated high severity with a CVSS 4.0 score of 8.4. The issue is fixed in vite-plus version 0.1.17.
Potential Impact
An attacker can cause vite-plus to perform unauthorized filesystem operations outside its intended cache directory, including deleting, replacing, or creating files and directories. This can lead to potential data loss or corruption and may affect system stability or security depending on the environment where vite-plus is used. The vulnerability does not require user interaction or privileges and can be triggered locally. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade vite-plus to version 0.1.17 or later, where this path traversal vulnerability has been patched. Since the vendor has released a fixed version, applying this official update is the recommended remediation. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor's versioning information. No other mitigations are specified.
