  - Vitest is a testing framework powered by Vite. From 2.1.0 until 4.1.11 and 5.0.0-rc.2, the public
    mockerPlugin and standalone interceptorPlugin exports in packages/mocker/src/node/interceptorPlugin.ts
    register the vitest:interceptor:register handler on Vite's unauthenticated HMR WebSocket without
    validating redirect targets against the file-serving allowlist. The implementation processes
    event.redirect without enforcing server.fs.allow and server.fs.deny through isFileLoadingAllowed. A remote
    client that can reach an exposed development server can submit an opaque URL scheme preserving ..
    segments, causing join(server.config.root, redirectUrl.pathname) to resolve outside the project root. The
    plugin's load hook then returns readFile(mock.redirect, 'utf-8') as module source, disclosing local files
    readable by the dev-server process. Vitest browser mode uses a token-authenticated RPC and is not remotely
    unauthenticated by default, although the same boundary check was missing on that path. This issue is fixed
    in versions 4.1.11 and 5.0.0-rc.2. (CVE-2026-84373)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
