Nuxt: Incomplete fix for GHSA-9v7c-q64q-vv33: a leading `//` in the request path bypasses `server/middleware` path checks and server route rules on page routes
CVE-2026-128077
Summary Since 4.6.0, Nuxt parses a request path that starts with // as a URL with a host before rendering a page, so //x/admin renders the page at /admin. Nitro's routing, Nitro's route rules and server/middleware see the path as //x/admin, so server-side checks keyed on /admin do not apply. The fix for [GHSA-9v7c-q64q-vv33](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/security/advisories/GHSA-9v7c-q64q-vv33) in 4.6.3 covered dot segments but not this form. Impact An unauthenticated attacker can bypass server-side controls that match on the request path of a page route. A route-scoped server handler is skipped: ts // nuxt.config.ts export default defineNuxtConfig({ serverHandlers: [{ route: '/admin', middleware: true, handler: '~~/server/admin-guard.ts' }], }) ts // server/admin-guard.ts export default defineEventHandler((event) => { if (!isAuthenticated(event)) { throw createError({ statusCode: 401 }) } }) With this handler, /admin returns 401, but //x/admin and ///x/admin render app/pages/admin.vue along with the data it fetches during server rendering. server/middleware that checks event.path.startsWith('/admin') is skipped in the same way. Server-side redirect and headers route rules are also…
