Vite Vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read via Vite Dev Server WebSocket

### Summary [`server.fs`](https://vite.dev/config/server-options#server-fs-strict) check was not enforced to the `fetchModule` method that is exposed in Vite dev server's WebSocket. ### Impact Only apps that match the following conditions are affected: - explicitly exposes the Vite dev server to the network (using `--host` or [`server.host` config option](https://vitejs.dev/config/server-options.html#server-host)) - WebSocket is not disabled by `server.ws: false` Arbitrary files on the server (development machine, CI environment, container, etc.) can be exposed. ### Details If it is possible to connect to the Vite dev server’s WebSocket **without an `Origin` header**, an attacker can invoke `fetchModule` via the custom WebSocket event `vite:invoke` and combine `file://...` with `?raw` (or `?inline`) to retrieve the contents of arbitrary files on the server as a JavaScript string (e.g., `export default "..."`). The access control enforced in the HTTP request path (such as `server.fs.allow`) is not applied to this WebSocket-based execution path. ### PoC 1. Start the dev server on the target Example (used during validation with this repository): ```bash pnpm -C playground/alias exec vite --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5173 ``` 2. Confirm that access is blocked via the HTTP path (example: arbitrary file) ```bash curl -i 'http://localhost:5173/@fs/etc/passwd?raw' ``` Result: `403 Restricted` (outside the allow list) <img width="3898" height="1014" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f6593377-549c-45d7-b562-5c19833438af" /> 3. Confirm that the same file can be retrieved via the WebSocket path By connecting to the HMR WebSocket without an `Origin` header and sending a `vite:invoke` request that calls `fetchModule` with a `file://...` URL and `?raw`, the file contents are returned as a JavaScript module. <img width="1049" height="296" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/af969f7b-d34e-4af4-8adb-5e2b83b31972" /> <img width="1382" height="955" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6a230d2e-197a-4c9c-b373-d0129756d5d7" />
