Vulnerability ID: CVE-2026-61782
CVSS Score: 7.5
Published: 2026-09-24
An insecure configuration in the diagnostic HTTP server of @rsdoctor/rspack-plugin allowed unauthenticated remote attackers or malicious local websites to retrieve serialized build metadata and full source code modules.
TL;DR
An insecure default binding (0.0.0.0) combined with wildcard CORS headers in the @rsdoctor/rspack-plugin allowed unauthorized source code retrieval via cross-origin or local network requests.
