What is CVE-2026-53632?

The launch-editor NPM package prior to version 2.14.1 presents a vulnerability that allows users to access arbitrary file paths, including Windows UNC paths. When a UNC path is opened, Windows can inadvertently initiate NTLM authentication to a remote server. This process may lead to the unintentional exposure of the user's NTLMv2 password hash to an attacker-controlled SMB server, enabling potential credential compromise through offline hash cracking methods.

Affected Version(s)

launch-editor < 2.14.1

vite >= 8.0.0, < 8.0.16 < 8.0.0, 8.0.16

vite >= 7.0.0, < 7.3.5 < 7.0.0, 7.3.5
