CVE-2025-30360

webpack-dev-server allows users to use webpack with a development server that provides live reloading. Prior to version

webpack-dev-server allows users to use webpack with a development server that provides live reloading. Prior to version 5.2.1, webpack-dev-server users' source code may be stolen when you access a malicious web site with non-Chromium based browser. The Origin header is checked to prevent Cross-site WebSocket hijacking from happening, which was reported by CVE-2018-14732.

But webpack-dev-server always allows IP address Origin headers. This allows websites that are served on IP addresses to connect WebSocket. An attacker can obtain source code via a method similar to that used to exploit CVE-2018-14732.

Version 5.2.1 contains a patch for the issue.
