Published · Updated · NVD status: Awaiting Analysis
What it is
Two components read the same input differently, and an attacker exploits the gap. A permission check exists but gets the answer wrong for some callers.
How it is reached
An attacker can exploit it over the network, without an account, and nobody has to click anything.
What an attacker gains
The direct impact is limited: partial access to data or a partial outage. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker smuggle requests past the proxy's checks.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade nuxt to 4.6.4 or later. Other affected products have their own fixed versions on this page.
- Until it is patched, keep it off the internet or behind a VPN, allowlist or authenticating proxy.
Description from NVD
Nuxt is an open-source web development framework for Vue.js. From 4.6.0 until 4.6.4, Nuxt parses a request path beginning with // as a URL host before rendering a page, while Nitro server/middleware and routeRules continue to evaluate the original path. An unauthenticated request such as //x/admin can therefore resolve to the /admin page without route-scoped serverHandlers, server/middleware path checks, redirects, or security headers configured for /admin. API handlers in server/api and server/routes, appMiddleware, page middleware are unaffected. This issue is fixed in version 4.6.4.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Proxies, load balancers and the servers behind them. The flaw sits between a front-end proxy and its back end.
- Permission checks in APIs and admin surfaces. The flaw sits between one role or tenant and another.
- Multi-tenant services. The flaw sits between one role or tenant and another.
Trust boundaries in play
- Internet-facing entry points. No account is needed. Any instance reachable from outside your perimeter, through a load balancer, gateway, VPN or exposed admin port, is in scope.
- Between a front-end proxy and its back end. An attacker who crosses it can smuggle requests past the proxy's checks.
- Between one role or tenant and another. An attacker who crosses it can reach data or actions their role should not allow.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does nuxt run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances can be reached from the internet or partner networks?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
