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
vite-plugin-static-copy is rollup-plugin-copy for Vite with dev server support. Files not included in src are accessible with a crafted request. The vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.2 and 3.1.2.

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 · high confidence

The vite-plugin-static-copy plugin, used to copy static files in Vite projects, has an access control vulnerability where files outside the intended src directory can be accessed through crafted HTTP requests. This allows unauthorized access to potentially sensitive files on the server.

MitigationUpgrade vite-plugin-static-copy to version 2.3.2 or 3.1.2 (depending on your major version) to patch the access control issue.

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. Locate vite-plugin-static-copy in project dependencies
    Check package.json for vite-plugin-static-copy under dependencies or devDependencies, or run 'npm list vite-plugin-static-copy' to see if it is installed
    Affected if The package is present in the project dependencies
  2. Identify the installed version
    Run 'npm list vite-plugin-static-copy' or check the version field in node_modules/vite-plugin-static-copy/package.json
    Affected if Version is less than 2.3.2 for v2.x releases OR less than 3.1.2 for v3.x releases
  3. Confirm the plugin is configured in Vite config
    Inspect vite.config.js, vite.config.ts, or similar config files for usage of 'viteStaticCopy' or import of the plugin
    Affected if The plugin is imported and configured in the Vite configuration file
  4. Check the src configuration
    Look for the 'files' or 'src' option in the viteStaticCopy configuration to identify which directories are being served
    Affected if The plugin is configured to serve any directories (this confirms the attack surface exists)
  5. Verify server exposure
    Confirm the Vite dev server or production server is accessible and the static copy files are being served via HTTP endpoints
    Affected if The server is running and serving files through this plugin

You are affected if vite-plugin-static-copy is installed, the version is below 2.3.2 or 3.1.2 depending on your major version, and the plugin is configured and serving files.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Check your environment

Paste your version and any relevant configuration and it will be compared against the affected criteria above. Do not include secrets or credentials.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade vite-plugin-static-copy to version 2.3.2 or 3.1.2 (depending on your major version) to patch the access control issue.

Recommended fix High confidence

vite-plugin-static-copy version 2.3.2 (for v2.x users) or 3.1.2 (for v3.x users)

  1. Identify your current major version of vite-plugin-static-copy (check package.json)
  2. If using version 2.x: Upgrade to version 2.3.2 or later by running: npm install [email protected]
  3. If using version 3.x: Upgrade to version 3.1.2 or later by running: npm install [email protected]
  4. Verify the upgrade completed successfully: npm list vite-plugin-static-copy
  5. Test your application to ensure the path traversal vulnerability is no longer present and functionality works as expected
Caveat Review the changelog between your current version and the target version for any breaking changes, particularly when crossing major version boundaries (e.g., v2 to v3)
