GitHub Vulnerability Alerts

CVE-2025-24964

Summary

Arbitrary remote Code Execution when accessing a malicious website while Vitest API server is listening by Cross-site WebSocket hijacking (CSWSH) attacks.

Details

When api option is enabled (Vitest UI enables it), Vitest starts a WebSocket server. This WebSocket server did not check Origin header and did not have any authorization mechanism and was vulnerable to CSWSH attacks.
https://github.com/vitest-dev/vitest/blob/9a581e1c43e5c02b11e2a8026a55ce6a8cb35114/packages/vitest/src/api/setup.ts#L32-L46

This WebSocket server has saveTestFile API that can edit a test file and rerun API that can rerun the tests. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by injecting a code in a test file by the saveTestFile API and then running that file by calling the rerun API.
https://github.com/vitest-dev/vitest/blob/9a581e1c43e5c02b11e2a8026a55ce6a8cb35114/packages/vitest/src/api/setup.ts#L66-L76

PoC

  1. Open Vitest UI.
  2. Access a malicious web site with the script below.
  3. If you have calc executable in PATH env var (you'll likely have it if you are running on Windows), that application will be executed.

Impact

This vulnerability can result in remote code execution for users that are using Vitest serve API.

Oops! Looks like you forgot to update the changelog. When updating CHANGELOG.md, please consider the following:

  • Changelog is read by country implementors who might not always be familiar with all technical details of OpenCRVS. Keep language high-level, user friendly and avoid technical references to internals.
  • Answer "What's new?", "Why was the change made?" and "Why should I care?" for each change.
  • If it's a breaking change, include a migration guide answering "What do I need to do to upgrade?".
