Vite: First 4 bytes of files outside of `server.fs` setting is exposed by `?vite-wasm-instance`
The first 4 bytes of files outside of server.fs setting can be returned to the browser by a request containing ?vite-wasm-instance.
Only apps that match one of the following conditions are affected:
--host or the server.host optionRequests containing the ?vite-wasm-instance query are handled by the internal Wasm plugin's load hook. The hook removes the query and reads the resulting path directly from disk, but the server.fs checks were not applied.
After reading the file, Vite attempts to parse it as WebAssembly. When that parse fails, Node and deno throws an error that contains the first 4 bytes of the file.
Create a denied file and start an affected Vite dev server:
echo 'SECRET_KEY=abc123\n' > .env
npm run dev
curl 'http://localhost:5173/.env?vite-wasm-instance'
This will show
Failed to parse WASM file "<root>/.env": WebAssembly.compile(): expected magic word 00 61 73 6d, found 53 45 43 52 @+0
