## Overview

### Summary

The contents of files that are specified by [`server.fs.deny`](https://vite.dev/config/server-options#server-fs-deny) can be returned to the browser. This is the same as https://github.com/vitejs/vite/security/advisories/GHSA-v2wj-q39q-566r.

### Impact

Only apps that match the following conditions are affected:

- explicitly exposes the Vite dev server to the network (using `--host` or [`server.host` config option](https://vitejs.dev/config/server-options.html#server-host))
- the sensitive file exists in the allowed directories specified by [`server.fs.allow`](https://vite.dev/config/server-options#server-fs-allow)
- the sensitive file is denied with a pattern that matches a file by [`server.fs.deny`](https://vite.dev/config/server-options#server-fs-deny)

### Details

On the Vite dev server, files that should be blocked by `server.fs.deny` (e.g., `.env`, `*.crt`) can be retrieved with HTTP 200 responses when query parameters such as `?raw`, `?import&raw`, or `?import&url&inline` are appended.

For the fix for https://github.com/vitejs/vite/security/advisories/GHSA-rq7h-c2jc-7f22, v6.4.4 back-ported https://github.com/vitejs/vite/pull/20410. But while that PR requires https://github.com/vitejs/vite/pull/22160 for https://github.com/vitejs/vite/security/advisories/GHSA-v2wj-q39q-566r, https://github.com/vitejs/vite/pull/22160 wasn't back-ported together causing v6 vulnerable to https://github.com/vitejs/vite/security/advisories/GHSA-v2wj-q39q-566r.

## Affected packages

- `vite = 6.4.4`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `vite 6.4.5`
