Missing Origin Validation in react-scripts@1.x.x

[tanx]

Any chance the security fix will get backported to webpack-dev-server@2.x.x? We're still on react-scripts@1.x.x yet which relies on this version range. Here is the respective issue in webpack-dev-server. Thanks for your consideration.

It sounds like they are not going to backport the fix. I'm closing this as I don't think there's anything we can do about it.

"Steal a developer's source code" -- the source code is public anyways during deployment, this should really be a low/medium security report.

I am getting the same error using the latest version of CRA 2.1.2. My npm audit says the vulnerability is patched in webpack-dev-server@3.1.11 and react-scripts uses 3.1.9.

guys an update on this is appreciated! webpack-dev-server is not backporting the fix, one possible resolution is to update react to depend on newer version.
