Arbitrary remote file read in Wrangler dev server

Moderate
mskowroncf published GHSA-cfph-4qqh-w828 Dec 29, 2023

Package

npm wrangler (npm)

Affected versions

>= 3.9.0, < 3.19.0

Patched versions

3.19.0

Description

Impact

Sending specially crafted HTTP requests and inspector messages to Wrangler's dev server could result in any file on the user's computer being accessible over the local network. An attacker that could trick any user on the local network into opening a malicious website could also read any file.

Patches

This issue was fixed in wrangler@3.19.0. Wrangler will now only serve files that are part of your bundle, or referenced by your bundle's source maps.

Workarounds

Configure Wrangler to listen on local interfaces instead with wrangler dev --ip 127.0.0.1. This is the default as of wrangler@3.16.0, and removes the local network as an attack vector, but does not prevent an attack from visiting a malicious website.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
