GHSA-rq7w-g337-39qq: Nuxt: Dev server discloses project absolute path and persistent workspace UUID via `/.well-known/appspecific/com.chrome.devtools.json`
When running nuxt dev, Nuxt registers an unauthenticated route at /.well-known/appspecific/com.chrome.devtools.json that returns the absolute filesystem path of the project root and a per-project UUID persisted to node_modules/.cache/nuxt/chrome-workspace.json. The route is enabled by default via experimental.chromeDevtoolsProjectSettings: true.
The endpoint exists to let Chrome DevTools’ Workspace integration map sources to the developer’s local checkout. The handler is registered directly on nitro.options.devHandlers and does not pass through the CORS / origin wrapper that the rest of the dev pipeline uses, so it has no host / origin / Sec-Fetch-Site check of its own.
