CVE-2026-114348
Description
A flaw was found in webpack-dev-server. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit improper Host header validation in the open-editor endpoint to obtain sensitive technical information. By sending a request with a specially crafted Host header, the attacker triggers an internal server error that returns a full error stack trace. This exposes environment details, including local file system paths, module locations, and internal source code references.
Statement
Red Hat rates this vulnerability as Moderate impact because it results solely in the disclosure of technical diagnostic information without allowing remote code execution, unauthorized data modification, or service disruption. Because webpack-dev-server is designed strictly for local development and testing workflows rather than production deployments, exposure is limited to environments where developer tools are actively running and reachable across the network. The leak requires an attacker to reach the HTTP service directly to induce an unhandled exception, limiting the blast radius to internal stack traces and local file paths.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
