AI-suggested

Upgrade Nuxt DevTools to version 3.3.1 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Prior to upgrading, restrict network access to the Vite HMR WebSocket endpoint to trusted clients only, as the channel lacks authentication. Patch status is confirmed fixed in 3.3.1.

Description

A critical code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) exists in Nuxt DevTools versions prior to 3.3.1. The devtools expose an unauthenticated bidirectional RPC channel over the Vite HMR WebSocket, allowing any client with network access to the HMR endpoint to invoke certain RPC methods without authentication. Specifically, the updateOptions() and openInEditor() methods lack proper authentication checks, enabling an attacker to set arbitrary commands and execute them on the developer's machine. This vulnerability is fixed in version 3.3.1.
