CVE-2026-53633
Last modified
CVE-2026-53633 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Vitest is a testing framework powered by Vite. From 3.0.0 until 3.2.5, 4.1.8, and 5.0.0-beta.4, Vitest Browser Mode exposed a cdp() API that forwarded raw Chrome DevTools Protocol methods without being gated by allowWrite or allowExec, allowing a remote client with exposed browser API metadata to use CDP Page.setDownloadBehavior and Runtime.evaluate to overwrite vite.config.ts and execute attacker-controlled Node.js code. EPSS estimates a 0.58% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
