CVE-2024-23657: Nuxt Devtools has a Path Traversal: '../filedir'
Nuxt Devtools is missing authentication on the getTextAssetContent RPC function which is vulnerable to path traversal. Combined with a lack of Origin checks on the WebSocket handler, an attacker is able to interact with a locally running devtools instance and exfiltrate data abusing this vulnerability.
In certain configurations an attacker could leak the devtools authentication token and then abuse other RPC functions to achieve RCE.
