CVE-2026-49356: @babel/core: Arbitrary File Read via sourceMappingURL Comment

June 15, 2026

Using @babel/core to compile maliciously crafted code can allow ab attacker to read any source map from the system that is running Babel, if these conditions are all true:

  • the attacker knows the path of the source map file that they want to read

Users that only compile trusted code are not impacted.
