Vulnerability from github – Published: 2019-01-04 17:40 – Updated: 2022-04-06 20:39

Summary

Missing Origin Validation in webpack-dev-server

Details

Versions of webpack-dev-server before 3.1.10 are missing origin validation on the websocket server. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to steal a developer's source code because the origin of requests to the websocket server that is used for Hot Module Replacement (HMR) are not validated.

Recommendation

For webpack-dev-server update to version 3.1.11 or later.

Severity

7.5 (High)
