📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

#renderReport now passes request history only when the request socket uses a loopback address. Remote peers still receive the error report without request history. Tests add serveAsPeer and verify local and remote failure-page responses.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 713b1

Direct remote clients no longer receive request history, but externally reachable proxy or tunnel deployments can still expose it. Resolve the proxy trust boundary before merging.

Install footprint and published tarball

Each version installed on its own into an empty project with nothing but @nuxt/cli as a dependency, so the tree is exactly the CLI and its transitive dependencies. npm cache is warm and the registry is only consulted for metadata, so install wall time is indicative, not a network benchmark.

Interleaved runs on a shared runner: trust the deltas, not the absolute timings. The dev, restart and build suites run locally via pnpm bench:cli.

Sensitive Data Exposure

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-200 — Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

Do not use the raw socket peer address for error-history authorization.

A reverse proxy or portless tunnel can connect from loopback while serving external clients. Those clients pass the check and receive channel.history in the rendered error page. Resolve the client address through a configured trusted-proxy boundary, or disable history when the listener is behind a proxy.
