CVE-2026-82258: SvelteJS Kit query.batch cross-talk vulnerability

CVE-2026-82258 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.8 · Published 2026-08-28

Svelte Kit is a web application framework that handles request batching for performance. Under rare timing conditions, the query.batch feature could cause concurrent requests from different users to merge into a single context, allowing one user to see another user's private data. This is a cross-user data disclosure vulnerability requiring very specific timing conditions but affecting production deployments.

Technologies: @sveltejs/kit (npm), SvelteKit. Vendors: npm, Svelte.

Technical details

This vulnerability is a race condition (CWE-200: Information Exposure) in the query.batch() function introduced in version 2.38.0. Under very rare and specific timing conditions, concurrent requests from different users can merge and resolve under a single request context, enabling unintended cross-user data disclosure. The attack requires network-accessible conditions with high attack complexity and low privileges. The vulnerability is fixed in version 2.60.1. A patch commit has been published that prevents the batch cross-talk by properly isolating concurrent request contexts.
