CVE-2026-73653 Critical · 9.4 CWE-22 Aug 13, 2026

Vitest: Browser Mode provider commands bypass the file-access permission gate

Vitest is a testing framework powered by Vite. Prior to versions 3.2.7, 4.1.10, and 5.0.0-beta.6, Browser Mode provider commands including upload, takeScreenshot, screenshotMatcher, stopChunkTrace, deleteTracing, and annotateTraces accept browser-supplied file paths without enforcing the allowWrite permission gate or confining paths to the project root. A client that can reach the Browser Mode API can read arbitrary local files, create or overwrite image and trace files, or delete files accessible to the Vitest process even when allowWrite is false. This issue is fixed in versions 3.2.7, 4.1.10, and 5.0.0-beta.6.

CVE-2026-53633 Critical · 9.8 CWE-749 Jul 14, 2026

Vitest: Exposed Browser Mode API Can Proxy CDP and Overwrite Config Files, Leading to RCE

Vitest is a testing framework powered by Vite. From 3.0.0 until 3.2.5, 4.1.8, and 5.0.0-beta.4, Vitest Browser Mode exposed a cdp() API that forwarded raw Chrome DevTools Protocol methods without being gated by allowWrite or allowExec, allowing a remote client with exposed browser API metadata to use CDP Page.setDownloadBehavior and Runtime.evaluate to overwrite vite.config.ts and execute attacker-controlled Node.js code. This issue is fixed in versions 3.2.5, 4.1.8, and 5.0.0-beta.

CVE-2026-47429 Medium · 5.9 CWE-22 Jul 14, 2026

Vitest: Arbitrary file can be read and executed when Vitest UI server is listening

Vitest is a testing framework powered by Vite. Prior to 3.2.5 and 4.1.0, the Vitest UI/API server on Windows used isFileServingAllowed incorrectly for /__vitest_attachment__, allowing \\?\\..\\ path traversal to read files outside the project; exposed API write and rerun features such as saveTestFile and rerun could also allow arbitrary script execution. This issue is fixed in versions 3.2.5 and 4.1.0.

CVE-2026-47428 Critical · 9.6 CWE-79 Jul 14, 2026

Vitest browser mode serves unsanitized otelCarrier query parameter as inline script

Vitest is a testing framework powered by Vite. From 4.0.17 until 4.1.6 and 5.0.0-beta.3, Vitest Browser Mode served /__vitest_test__/ with the otelCarrier query parameter inserted directly into an inline module script, allowing a crafted browser-runner URL to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the Vitest server origin and recover VITEST_API_TOKEN for authenticated API calls. This issue is fixed in versions 4.1.6 and 5.0.0-beta.3.
