Vitest: Code injection via unauthenticated manual mock registration

Type: advisorySources: OSV

### Summary `@vitest/mocker`'s `interceptorPlugin` accepts mock registrations on Vite's dev-server WebSocket with no authentication, and interpolates the mock's `url` into generated module source without escaping. A client that can reach the dev server can make it serve arbitrary JavaScript in place of any project module, which then runs in the developer's browser on the dev-server origin. Same handler and same unauthenticated caller as GHSA-82fw-gwwq-j7x9; that fix (`8ff9b9a9efca7c6cfd5243569440de8d7a33aec4`, PR #10972) hardened only the `redirect` branch and left the `manual` branch reaching the unescaped generator. ### Patches Fixed in `@vitest/mocker` 5.0.3, released on 2026-09-30 (PR #11377), and backported to 4.1.12. `createManualModuleSource` now serializes the module URL and the export names with `JSON.stringify`, so a registered mock cannot change the generated code. Projects that call `mockerPlugin()` or `interceptorPlugin()` directly need `@vitest/mocker` 4.1.12 or 5.0.3. ### Details `packages/mocker/src/utils.ts:6-9` builds module source by string interpolation: ```ts export function createManualModuleSource(moduleUrl: string, exports: string[], globalAccessor = '"__vitest_mocker__"'): string { const source = ` const __factoryModule__ = await globalThis[${globalAccessor}].getFactoryModule("${moduleUrl}"); ` ``` `moduleUrl` lands inside a double-quoted JavaScript string with no escaping or validation. `packages/mocker/src/node/interceptorPlugin.ts:66-93` feeds it s
