Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The Wrangler command line tool  (<[email protected] or <[email protected]) was affected by a directory traversal vulnerability when running a local development server for Pages (wrangler pages dev command). This vulnerability enabled an attacker in the same network as the victim to connect to the local development server and access the victim's files present outside of the directory for the development server.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

The Wrangler CLI (versions <=3.1.0 or <=2.20.1) contains a directory traversal vulnerability in the `wrangler pages dev` command used for local Pages development. An attacker on the same network can connect to the exposed local development server and escape the intended directory to access files outside the project root.

MitigationUpgrade Wrangler to a version higher than 3.1.0 (for v3) or 2.20.1 (for v2), or implement proper path sanitization and validation to prevent traversal sequences (../) in file access requests.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check installed Wrangler version
    Run `wrangler --version` or `npx wrangler --version` to get the exact version number
    Affected if Version is 3.1.0 or lower, or 2.20.1 or lower (v2 series)
  2. Identify if pages dev command is in use
    Check running processes or recent command history for `wrangler pages dev` or `npx wrangler pages dev`
    Affected if The `wrangler pages dev` command is currently or recently running
  3. Verify server network binding
    Check the listening ports and binding address using `netstat -tlnp` or `ss -tlnp` - look for the Pages dev server port (typically 8788) and whether it binds to 0.0.0.0 or all interfaces versus 127.0.0.1 only
    Affected if The Pages dev server is listening on 0.0.0.0 or an external network interface rather than localhost only

You are affected if Wrangler version is 3.1.0 or lower (or 2.20.1 or lower for v2) AND the `wrangler pages dev` server is running and accessible from the network.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 3.1.1 or later
Fixed in 3.1.1
Interim mitigation

Upgrade Wrangler to a version higher than 3.1.0 (for v3) or 2.20.1 (for v2), or implement proper path sanitization and validation to prevent traversal sequences (../) in file access requests.
