CVE-2026-72744Network attack vectorHinoki check available

LAN path and UUID disclosure via Host spoofing

Published Aug 11, 2026 · Updated Aug 11, 2026

Information disclosure in Nuxt 3.21.7 through 3.21.9 and 4.4.7 through 4.5.0 allows remote attackers to obtain project paths and UUIDs. The isLocalDevRequest gate treats missing browser headers as local and validates an attacker-controlled Host header instead of the TCP peer. Exposure requires a development server bound beyond loopback with the default-enabled workspace setting; production builds are unaffected.
