GHSA-HXVH-4H3W-PRP9
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-05 21:05 – Updated: 2026-08-05 21:05Impact
Nuxt matches route rules case-insensitively by default (mirroring vue-router's default sensitive: false routing). The fix for GHSA-mm7m-92g8-7m47 / CVE-2026-53721 lowercased the lookup path before matching route rules, but the route-rule keys compiled into the matcher were left verbatim. As a result, any route rule whose key contains an uppercase character (for example /Admin, /Dashboard/**, or the rules Nuxt derives from PascalCase/camelCase page files such as pages/Admin.vue) never matches, because every lookup is folded to lowercase while the key stays mixed-case.
vue-router still serves the page case-insensitively, so the page renders with none of its Nuxt route-rule protections applied. The most serious consequence is an authorization bypass: an appMiddleware rule used as an auth gate (routeRules: { '/Admin/dashboard': { appMiddleware: 'auth' } }) is dropped, and /Admin/dashboard, /admin/dashboard, and /ADMIN/dashboard all render the protected page (and its SSR-fetched data) to an unauthenticated visitor instead of redirecting to login. The same gap drops Nuxt's other app-side route-rule behaviours for mixed-case keys, including the client redirect middleware, the app-side ssr: false decision, prerender, and payload handling.
Patches
Fixed in nuxt@4.5.1 (4.x) and nuxt@3.21.10 (3.x). The route-rule matcher now case-folds the compiled keys the same way it folds the lookup path, so key and lookup normalisation are symmetric. Both sides are gated on router.options.sensitive: with sensitive: true (case-sensitive routing) configured casing is preserved on both sides.
Scope note: server-emitted per-route headers, server redirect, and proxy are matched by Nitro's own case-sensitive route-rule matcher, not by Nuxt's app-level matcher. They are unchanged by this advisory. The fix covers the app-level protections Nuxt owns (appMiddleware, appLayout, the client redirect middleware, the app ssr decision, prerender, and payload).
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade immediately, any one of:
- Key all
routeRules(and name your page files) in lowercase, so the keys already match the folded lookup path. - Set
router: { options: { sensitive: true } }so routing and route-rule matching are both case-sensitive and exact (requests must then use the exact casing). - Enforce the sensitive protections server-side independently of route rules (for example a server middleware that checks auth), which does not rely on case-insensitive route-rule matching.

In that, L1 guest could access L0\u0027s APIC register values via L2 guest, when \u0027virtualize x2APIC mode\u0027 is enabled. A guest could use this flaw to potentially crash the host kernel resulting in DoS issue. Kernel versions from 4.16 and newer are vulnerable to this issue.",

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
