Vulnerability in nuxt (CVE-2026-47200)

Summary

Vulnerability in nuxt (CVE-2026-47200). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via experimental.componentIslands. Mitigation: upgrade to 4.4.6 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Summary

When experimental.componentIslands is enabled (default in Nuxt 4), any .server.vue file under pages/ is automatically registered as a server island under the key page_ and exposed via the /__nuxt_island/:name endpoint. Until this fix, requests through that endpoint rendered the page component directly via the SSR renderer without instantiating Vue Router, which meant route middleware declared on the page (including definePageMeta({ middleware })) did not run.

For Nuxt applications that gate a .server.vue page behind route middleware as their sole auth check, an unauthenticated attacker could bypass that check by requesting /__nuxt_island/page__ directly and receiving the server-rendered HTML.

Affected configurations

All three conditions must hold for an application to be vulnerable:

  1. experimental.componentIslands is enabled (the default in Nuxt 4; opt-in in Nuxt 3).
  2. The application defines one or more .server.vue files under pages/, registering them as routed pages.
  3. Authentication / authorization for at least one such page is enforced solely via route middleware (middleware/*.ts referenced from definePageMeta), without a server-side check inside the page or its data layer.

Applications that enforce auth inside the island's own data layer (server-only API routes, useRequestEvent + manual session checks, etc.) were not affected. The general "route middleware does not run for non-page island components" behaviour is d…

❓ What is the problem

A vulnerability (CWE-284) exists in nuxt. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via experimental.componentIslands without authentication.

📍 Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of nuxt. Attack surface: experimental.componentIslands / definePageMeta / useRequestEvent / page_.

🔥 Severity

Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.3/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 4.4.6.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'nuxt' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'nuxt' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で nuxt を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade nuxt to 4.4.6

    ステージング環境で 4.4.6 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。

  3. 3
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
