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:
experimental.componentIslandsis enabled (the default in Nuxt 4; opt-in in Nuxt 3).- The application defines one or more
.server.vuefiles underpages/, registering them as routed pages. - Authentication / authorization for at least one such page is enforced solely via route middleware (
middleware/*.tsreferenced fromdefinePageMeta), 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…
