GitHub Security Advisory
Vite has a `server.fs.deny` bypassed for `inline` and `raw` with `?import` query
Advisory Details
### Summary
The contents of arbitrary files can be returned to the browser.
### Impact
Only apps explicitly exposing the Vite dev server to the network (using `--host` or [`server.host` config option](https://vitejs.dev/config/server-options.html#server-host)) are affected.
### Details
- base64 encoded content of non-allowed files is exposed using `?inline&import` (originally reported as `?import&?inline=1.wasm?init`)
- content of non-allowed files is exposed using `?raw?import`
`/@fs/` isn't needed to reproduce the issue for files inside the project root.
### PoC
Original report (check details above for simplified cases):
The ?import&?inline=1.wasm?init ending allows attackers to read arbitrary files and returns the file content if it exists. Base64 decoding needs to be performed twice
```
$ npm create vite@latest
$ cd vite-project/
$ npm install
$ npm run dev
```
