GHSA-gj2h-2fpw-fhv9: @nuxt/ui: UAuthForm / UForm SSR markup omits `method`, leaking credentials via GET if submitted before hydration

medium
Summary UForm and UAuthForm render a server-side <form> element with no method and no action attribute, relying on a hydrated @submit.prevent handler to intercept submission. If a user submits the form before Vue hydration has attached the handler (autofill plus Enter on a slow network, JS bundle blocked by CSP or CDN failure, etc.), the browser performs the native default: a GET to the current URL with every named field, including <input type="password">, serialised into the query string. Details src/runtime/components/Form.vue (around the template's <form> element) emits: <component :is="parentBus ? 'div' : 'form'" :id="formId" ref="formRef" :class="ui({ class: [uiProp?.base, props.class] })" @submit.prevent="onSubmitWrapper" No method, no action. @submit.prevent is the only thing stopping native submission, and it only exists after hydration. UAuthForm composes UForm and inherits the same shape. The SSR snapshot of UAuthForm (test/components/snapshots/AuthForm.spec.ts.snap) shows the rendered markup, with <input type="password" name="password"> inside a <form> that has no method. Proof of concept Reported by @nimonian: 1. Create a minimal Nuxt app with a UAuthForm. 2. Build for production and visit in a browser with network throttling at 4G or slower. 3. Enter credentials. 4. Submit (or let autofill + Enter fire before hydration). The URL becomes /login?email=…&password=…. Reproducible deterministically in Playwright by triggering submit immediately on load. Impact Any application using UAuthForm (or UForm with credential-shaped fields) as documented. The cleartext password lands in: - the address bar, - window.history, - the Referer header of every same-origin subresource fetched from the resulting URL, - access logs of any reverse proxy, CDN, or WAF that records request URLs. Patch Default the rendered <form> to method="post" so the pre-hydrat
