GHSA-8g5g-mxqh-grgj: vite (CVE-2026-118662)

Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in
vite	npm	>=6.4.4, <6.4.5	6.4.5

Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Vite versions 6.4.4 up to but not including 6.4.5 are affected: files matched by server.fs.deny can be returned to the browser when query parameters such as raw are appended. Exploitation requires the Vite dev server to be exposed to the network (via --host or server.host), the sensitive file to sit inside server.fs.allow directories, and it to be matched by server.fs.deny. The fix is to upgrade to Vite 6.4.5.
