What is CVE-2026-41211?
CVE-2026-41211 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in voidzero-dev vite-plus, published on 23 Apr 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Vite+ is a unified toolchain and entry point for web development. Prior to version 0.1.17, `downloadPackageManager()` accepts an untrusted `version` string and uses it directly in filesystem paths. A caller can supply `../` segments or an absolute path to escape the `VP_HOME/package_manager/<pm>/` cache root and make Vite+ delete, replace, and populate directories outside the intended cache location. Version 0.1.17 contains a patch.
Weakness: CWE-22
