Vercel deepsec from 0.1.0 before 1.1.17 contains a link following vulnerability in extractTarballLocally that allows sandboxed code to write files outside the sandbox by planting links in result tarballs. Attackers controlling sandbox code, such as a prompt-injected coding agent, can plant symbolic or hard links in the host data directory to write arbitrary files on the orchestrator host.
Next.js applications that use a root-level catch-all page together with statically generated or Incremental Static Regeneration routes can have their shared response cache poisoned by a single unauthenticated crafted request.
In Next.js App Router applications built with webpack, metadata image routes such as opengraph-image and twitter-image ignore the dynamicParams route segment option. An attacker can request metadata image URLs for dynamic segments that were deliberately excluded from generateStaticParams().
Impact
An attacker-controlled, allow-listed remote URL can lead to server-side request forgery (e.g. to private IPs) during Image Optimization.
Workaround
Audit allow-listed remote URLs in images.remotePatterns (see https://nextjs.org/docs/app/getting-started/images#remote-images) for hosts that may not be trusted with their DNS entries. If no images.remotePatterns are configured, your app is not affected.
Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. From 15.0.0 until 15.5.27 and 16.3.8, self-hosted applications using the Pages Router with statically generated or Incremental Static Regeneration pages can key a response cache entry without sufficiently binding it to the source route. A request can replace one page's cache entry with content from a different route, causing the affected page to serve incorrect content to every visitor until revalidation. Applications deployed on Vercel are not affected. This issue is fixed in versions 15.5.27 and 16.3.8.
Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. From 16.3.0 until 16.3.8, pending use cache fills for the same key are shared without separating Draft Mode requests from regular requests. An overlapping regular request can receive unauthenticated unpublished content from an editor's Draft Mode fill, while an overlapping Draft Mode request can receive published content from a regular fill. When the regular request prerenders a page, the draft-dependent content can persist in the generated page and be served to later visitors until revalidation. Sites are affected when Cache Components or experimental.useCache is enabled and cached functions return draft-dependent content. This issue is fixed in version 16.3.8.
Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. From 16.0.0 until 16.3.8, the next dev development server exposes a Model Context Protocol endpoint without reliably restricting cross-site requests. A malicious website visited by a developer can reach the endpoint and read the project's disk location, source code snippets from error reports, route inventory, and development logs. Production deployments do not serve this endpoint. This issue is fixed in version 16.3.8.
Next.js versions from 16.3.0 to 16.3.7 warm use cache handlers using next/root-params and can leak their return value to pages with different root params. With Cache Components enabled (cacheComponents: true), a 'use cache' function that calls another 'use cache' function that reads a root param can be keyed incorrectly when the inner call is served from an existing entry: the enclosing function's cache key then omits that root param. The enclosing entry is written once and reused for all root param values, so a response for one root param value can serve content produced for a different value — whether the page is prerendered at build time or at runtime, or rendered dynamically. Shared cache headers let downstream caches redistribute the content further.
What values are leaked cannot be attacker controlled. Which value's content is served depends only on which invocation wrote the entry first.
This has been patched in 16.3.8.
A vulnerable OG image endpoint could potentially allow an unauthenticated attacker to achieve remote code execution. Affected: Next.js 16.2.0–16.3.5 Fixed: Next.js 16.3.6 / Satori 0.33.5 Edge runtime or setups without sharp are reportedly not affected. If you’re running an affected version, update now.
Impact
When a Server Action forwards or redirects a request, an attacker can cause the server to send that outbound request to a malicious host (Server-Side Request Forgery). This requires the attacker's request to control Host-associated headers. In some configurations, it's also possible to obtain internal values that weaken middleware/proxy authorization.
Applications that use Server Actions are affected when the incoming host header is not fixed to a trusted value. This typically occurs on custom servers, or on deployments not behind a proxy that pins the host. Managed hosting pins the host upstream and is not affected; next start and standalone output do the same from version 14.2 onward.
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade, ensure clients do not control the host header your application receives. Pin or validate Host and X-Forwarded-Host at your edge or proxy. On version 14.2.0 and later, you can additionally set the NEXTPRIVATEORIGIN environment variable to your deployment's real origin:
bash NEXTPRIVATEORIGIN=https://www.example.com node server.js
Impact
A server-side fetch with a request body may return a cached response body from a different request to the same URL but different body. Confidential data in the POST's response body would then leak to unauthorized requests. Though the request itself will not be deduped.
This only applies to fetch calls with a request that has a different init than the one passed to fetch. Safe: fetch(new Request(init), init) Unsafe: fetch(new Request(init), aDifferentInit)
Workarounds
No workaround exists besides upgrading. Applications using Pages Router are not vulnerable.
Impact
A server-side fetch with a request body may return a cached response body from a different request to the same URL but different body. Confidential data in the POST's response body would then leak to unauthorized requests. Though the request itself will not be deduped.
This is only an issue when receiving request bodies with a content type charset other than UTF-8. For example, the UTF-16 byte sequences for 삃삃 and 섄섄 in the request body would share the same cache.
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade, consider only making fetch requests with UTF-8 bodies (default in Next.js). Applications using Pages Router are not vulnerable.
Impact
Requests targeting Next.js applications using App Router with at least one Server Action can lead to excessive memory consumption if that Server Actions uses the Edge runtime
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade, ensure your hosting provider limits the request's body size. 5 MiB should be allowed at max by your hosting provider.
Impact
A rewrites() or redirects() rule that builds its external destination hostname from request-controlled input can be pointed at an arbitrary hostname, regardless of the rule's hostname suffix. For a rewrite, Next.js proxies the request to that arbitrary host and serves the response from the application's origin, leading to Server-Side Request forgery. A redirects() rule configured this way is vulnerable to an Open Redirect.
This affects any destination that puts a dynamic segment in the hostname, whether from the path:
javascript // next.config.js module.exports = { async rewrites() { return [ { source: '/:tenant', destination: 'https://:tenant.api.example.com', }, ] }, }
or from a has capture:
javascript // next.config.js module.exports = { async rewrites() { return [ { source: '/', has: [{ type: 'query', key: 'region', value: '(?<region>.+)' }], destination: 'https://:region.api.example.com', }, ] }, }
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade immediately, do not build the hostname of an external rewrites() or redirects() destination from user-controlled input. If a dynamic subdomain is required, constrain the value to hostname-safe characters: value: '(?<region>[a-z0-9-]+)'.
Impact
When self-hosting Next.js with the default image loader, the Image Optimization API can optimize remotely hosted images if configured (not enabled by default). If those images contain malicious content, they can cause CPU exhaustion in /next/image endpoints.
- If you are using config.images.remotePatterns, only the patterns in that array are impacted. - If you are using config.images.unoptimized: true, you are NOT impacted. - If you are using config.images.loader: 'custom', you are NOT impacted. - If you are using Vercel, you are NOT impacted.
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade immediately, you can avoid the expensive work by setting config.experimental.imgOptSkipMetadata : true.
Impact
In Next.js applications using App Router, Server Actions (use server) or use cache endpoints can be disclosed bypassing any authentication on the pages where these endpoints are usually used.
Server Action IDs can be disclosed to unauthenticated users via publicly served client artifacts (for example, static chunks containing action references).
Affected users are applications using App Router + Server Actions.
By itself, this disclosure is typically a recon/enumeration primitive; however, it can increase risk when combined with other weaknesses. Workarounds
Never assume any authentication claims at the use cache or use server boundary. Always authenticate within the boundary.
Impact
Crafted requests targeting Next.js applications using App Router built with Turbopack and a single entry in config.i18n.locales can bypass middleware/proxy based authentication.
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade immediately, enforce authorization in the page's server-side data path instead of relying solely on middleware.
Impact
Crafted requests targeting Next.js applications using App Router with at least one Server Action can lead to excessive CPU usage blocking processing of further requests in the same process.
Workarounds
No workaround exists besides upgrading. Applications using Pages Router or not using Server Actions are not vulnerable.

A vulnerability has been found in vercel ai up to 3.0.97. Impacted is the function run of the file .github/workflows/prettier-on-automerge.yml of the component PR Branch Name Interpolation. The manipulation leads to os command injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitability is considered difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
Impact
Turborepo's self-hosted login and SSO browser flows did not validate a CSRF state value on the localhost callback. While the CLI was waiting for authentication, a malicious web page could send a request to the local callback server with an attacker-controlled token. If accepted before the legitimate callback, the CLI could complete login with the wrong credentials.
This affects users authenticating the turbo CLI against self-hosted remote cache/auth endpoints. Vercel-hosted login flows using device authorization are not affected.
Fix
The login and SSO redirect flows now generate a random state value, include it in the browser authentication URL, and require the same value on the localhost callback before accepting a token. Callbacks with a missing or mismatched state are rejected.
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade immediately, avoid browser-based self-hosted turbo login or SSO flows on machines that may load untrusted web content during authentication. Use a pre-provisioned token or environment-based authentication instead.
Turborepo is a high-performance build system for JavaScript and TypeScript codebases. Prior to 2.9.14000, the Turborepo LSP VS Code extension could execute shell commands derived from workspace-controlled values. The extension used string-based command execution for Turborepo daemon commands and task runs. A malicious workspace could provide crafted values through workspace settings or task names in the repository's source code that were interpolated into shell commands. When the extension activated or when a user ran a task through the extension, those values could be interpreted by the user's shell, allowing arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the local VS Code process. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.9.14000.
Impact
Turborepo can be vulnerable to arbitrary code execution when run in untrusted repositories that contain malicious Yarn configuration. In affected versions, package manager detection executed yarn --version from the project directory, which could cause Yarn to load and execute a project-controlled yarnPath from .yarnrc.yml. An attacker who controls repository contents could cause code execution when a user or CI system runs affected turbo, @turbo/codemod, or @turbo/workspace conversion commands.
Fix
Turbo now avoids executing project-local Yarn during package manager detection. Yarn versions and paths are inferred from metadata such as package.json, parsing the value of yarnPath in .yarnrc.yml rather than executing it, and yarn.lock, and unrecognized Yarn lockfile formats are rejected instead of falling back to executing yarn.
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade immediately, do not run Turborepo commands in untrusted repositories. Review or remove .yarnrc.yml files that define yarnPath before running Turborepo, especially in CI or automated tooling that processes external projects.
Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. From 15.4.0 to before 15.5.16 and 16.2.5, applications that rely on middleware to protect dynamic routes can be vulnerable to authorization bypass. In affected deployments, specially crafted query parameters can alter the dynamic route value seen by the page while leaving the visible path unchanged, which can allow protected content to be rendered without passing the expected middleware check. This vulnerability is fixed in 15.5.16 and 16.2.5.
Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. From to before 15.5.16 and 16.2.5, applications using Partial Prerendering through the Cache Components feature can be vulnerable to connection exhaustion through crafted POST requests to a server action. In affected configurations, a malicious request can trigger a request-body handling deadlock that leaves connections open for an extended period, consuming file descriptors and server capacity until legitimate users are denied service. This vulnerability is fixed in 15.5.16 and 16.2.5.
Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. From 13.4.13 to before 15.5.16 and 16.2.5, self-hosted applications using the built-in Node.js server can be vulnerable to server-side request forgery through crafted WebSocket upgrade requests. An attacker can cause the server to proxy requests to arbitrary internal or external destinations, which may expose internal services or cloud metadata endpoints. Vercel-hosted deployments are not affected. This vulnerability is fixed in 15.5.16 and 16.2.5.
Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. From 15.2.0 to before 15.5.16 and 16.2.5, App Router applications that rely on middleware or proxy-based checks for authorization can allow unauthorized access through transport-specific route variants used for segment prefetching. In affected configurations, specially crafted .rsc and segment-prefetch URLs can resolve to the same page without being matched by the intended middleware rule, which can allow protected content to be reached without the expected authorization check. This vulnerability is fixed in 15.5.16 and 16.2.5.
Impact
It was found that the fix addressing CVE-2026-44575 did not apply to middleware.ts with Turbopack. Refer to CVE-2026-44575 for further details.
