Description

Summary `__screenshot-error` handler on the browser mode HTTP server that responds any file on the file system. Especially if the server is exposed on the network by `browser.api.host: true`, an attacker can send a request to that handler from remote to get the content of arbitrary files. Details This `__screenshot-error` handler on the browser mode HTTP server responds any file on the file system. https://github.com/vitest-dev/vitest/blob/f17918a79969d27a415f70431e08a9445b051e45/packages/browser/src/node/plugin.ts#L88-L130 This code was added by https://github.com/vitest-dev/vitest/commit/2d62051f13b4b0939b2f7e94e88006d830dc4d1f.
