What is CVE-2026-49993?

Nuxt is an open-source web development framework for Vue.js. In @nuxt/rspack-builder and @nuxt/webpack-builder from versions 3.15.4 to before 3.21.7 and 4.0.0 to before 4.4.7, there is an incomplete fix for GHSA-6m52-m754-pw2g. Source code may still be stolen during dev when using the webpack / rspack builder if the dev server is bound to a non-loopback address (e.g. nuxt dev --host) and the developer opens a malicious site on the same network. This issue has been patched in versions 3.21.7 and 4.4.7.

Affected Version(s)

nuxt >= 3.15.4, < 3.21.7 < 3.15.4, 3.21.7

nuxt >= 4.0.0, < 4.4.7 < 4.0.0, 4.4.7
