^3.1.3→^5.2.6webpack-dev-server users' source code may be stolen when they access a malicious web site
CVE-2025-30359 / GHSA-4v9v-hfq4-rm2v
More information
Details
Summary
Source code may be stolen when you access 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:8080/main.js">in their site and run the script. Note that the attacker has to know the port and the output entrypoint script path. Combined with prototype pollution, the attacker can get a reference to the webpack runtime variables.By using
Function::toStringagainst the values in__webpack_modules__, the attacker can get the source code.PoC
npm inpx webpack-dev-serverhttps://e29c9a88-a242-4fb4-9e64-b24c9d29b35b.pages.dev/The script in the POC site is:
This script uses the function generated by
renderRequire.Especially, it uses the fact that
Array::forEachis called for__webpack_require__.iandexecOptionscontains__webpack_require__.It uses prototype pollution against
Array::forEachto extract__webpack_require__reference.Impact
This vulnerability can result in the source code to be stolen for users that uses a predictable port and output path for the entrypoint script.

Summary
Source code may be stolen when you use
output.iife: falseand access a malicious web site.Details
When
output.iife: falseis set, some global variables for the webpack runtime are declared on thewindowobject (e.g.__webpack_modules__).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:8080/main.js">in their site and run the script. Note that the attacker has to know the port and the output entrypoint script path. By running that, the webpack runtime variables will be declared on thewindowobject.By using
Function::toStringagainst the values in__webpack_modules__, the attacker can get the source code.I pointed out
output.iife: false, but if there are other options that makes the webpack runtime variables to be declared on thewindowobject, the same will apply for those cases.PoC

webpack-dev-server users' source code may be stolen when they access a malicious web site with non-Chromium based browser
CVE-2025-30360 / GHSA-9jgg-88mc-972h

Summary
Source code may be stolen when you access a malicious web site with non-Chromium based browser.
Details
The
Originheader is checked to prevent Cross-site WebSocket hijacking from happening which was reported by CVE-2018-14732.But webpack-dev-server always allows IP address
Originheaders.https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server/blob/55220a800ba4e30dbde2d98785ecf4c80b32f711/lib/Server.js#L3113-L3127
This allows websites that are served on IP addresses to connect WebSocket.
By using the same method described in the article linked from CVE-2018-14732, the attacker get the source code.
related commit: webpack/webpack-dev-server@72efaab (note that
checkHostfunction was only used for Host header to prevent DNS rebinding attacks so this change itself is fine.This vulnerability does not affect Chrome 94+ (and other Chromium based browsers) users due to the non-HTTPS private access blocking feature.

webpack-dev-server vulnerable to cross-origin source code exposure on non-HTTPS origins
CVE-2026-6402 / GHSA-79cf-xcqc-c78w
More information
Details
Impact
When webpack-dev-server is running on a non-HTTPS origin (the default), cross-origin requests from malicious websites can load the dev server's JavaScript bundles via
<script>tags. The fix introduced in v5.2.1 (CVE-2025-30359) relied onSec-Fetch-ModeandSec-Fetch-Siterequest headers to block these requests, but browsers only send these headers for potentially trustworthy origins. Over plain HTTP, the headers are absent and the check is bypassed.An attacker who knows the dev server's host, port, and output path can exfiltrate all module source code by intercepting the webpack runtime's module registration.
This does not affect Chrome 142+ (and other Chromium-based browsers) due to local network access restrictions.
Patches
Patched in webpack-dev-server >= 5.2.4 by setting
Cross-Origin-Resource-Policy: same-originon responses.Workarounds
Run the dev server with HTTPS enabled (
--httpsorserver.type: 'https'in config).Resources

webpack-dev-server vulnerable to HMR WebSocket interception via permissive user proxies
CVE-2026-9595 / GHSA-mx8g-39q3-5c79
More information
Details
Impact
When a user-configured proxy on
webpack-dev-serverhas a broad context (e.g./) andws: true, it also intercepts the dev server's own HMR WebSocket and forwards it to the proxy target. This leaks the browser's cookies andOriginheader to the backend, bypasses the dev server's Host/Origin validation, and corrupts the HMR socket (both HMR and the proxy end up writing to the same socket).Patches
Fixed in
webpack-dev-server5.2.5.Workarounds
Scope user-defined proxy
contextto specific paths instead of/, or omitws: truefrom the proxy entry when WebSocket forwarding is not required.Severity

webpack-dev-server vulnerable to denial of service via a malformed Host or Origin header
CVE-2026-14631 / GHSA-m28w-2pqf-7qgj
More information
Details
Impact
An unauthenticated peer that can reach the
webpack-dev-serverprocess can terminate it by sending either a normal HTTP request with a malformedHostheader, or a WebSocket upgrade to the default/wsendpoint with a malformedOriginheader. The malformed header triggers an uncaught exception in the host-validation path and crashes the dev server process.Patches
Fixed in
webpack-dev-server5.2.6 by treating malformedHostandOriginheader values as invalid rather than throwing (see PR #5699).Workarounds
Keep the dev server bound to
localhost(the default) and do not expose it to untrusted networks.Severity

webpack-dev-server vulnerable to cross-site request forgery via internal developer endpoints
CVE-2026-14620 / GHSA-f5vj-f2hx-8m93
More information
Details
Impact
The internal
/webpack-dev-server/open-editorand/webpack-dev-server/invalidateendpoints perform state-changing actions on anyGETrequest, without verifying that the request originated from the dev server's own page. Any website a developer visits while the dev server is running can trigger them cross-origin with no interaction beyond the visit.An attacker can open an arbitrary existing local file in the developer's editor, including files outside the project root (e.g.
~/.ssh/config). The file's contents are not returned to the attacker. Repeated requests can also spawn editor processes and force recompilations, degrading the developer's machine.Patches
Fixed in
webpack-dev-server5.2.6 by rejecting cross-site requests to the/webpack-dev-server/open-editorand/webpack-dev-server/invalidateendpoints (see PR #5698).Workarounds
None

Release Notes

v5.2.6Compare Source
Patch Changes
fix: allow
undefinedas theServerconstructoroptionsargument again (by @bjohansebas in #5695)Restores accepting
undefined(defaulting it to{}) for theoptionsargument, so passing a webpack config's optional
devServerfield type-checks and works as before.Protect the built-in state-changing routes (
/webpack-dev-server/invalidateand/webpack-dev-server/open-editor) against cross-site request forgery. Requests are now checked withSec-Fetch-Site(falling back to anOrigin/Hostcomparison when it is absent), so a cross-site page can no longer trigger a rebuild or open a file in the editor. Same-origin requests, user-initiated navigations, and non-browser clients (e.g. curl) are unaffected. (by @bjohansebas in #5698)Handle malformed
HostandOriginheader values gracefully when validating requests. (by @bjohansebas in #5699)v5.2.5Compare Source
