Vite DOM Clobbering gadget found in vite bundled scripts that leads to XSS
We discovered a DOM Clobbering vulnerability in Vite when building scripts to `cjs`/`iife`/`umd` output format. The DOM Clobbering gadget in the module can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) in web pages where scriptless attacker-controlled HTML elements (e.g., an img tag with an unsanitized name attribute) are present.

Note that, we have identified similar security issues in Webpack: https://github.com/webpack/webpack/security/advisories/GHSA-4vvj-4cpr-p986

Websites were able to send any requests to the development server and read the response in vite
Vite allowed any websites to send any requests to the development server and read the response due to default CORS settings and lack of validation on the Origin header for WebSocket connections.

> [!WARNING]
> This vulnerability even applies to users that only run the Vite dev server on the local machine and does not expose the dev server to the network.
