Summary
Next.js, a React framework for full-stack applications, versions 13.4.0 through 15.5.24 and 16.3.3, on Windows-hosted servers does not properly escape backslashes in route segments when constructing cache paths, allowing a remote attacker to traverse outside the cache root and expose private data, including the server-reference-manifest encryption key. Disclosure of this key can enable remote code execution. Fixed in versions 15.5.24 and 16.3.3.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can access sensitive application data, including encryption keys, potentially leading to full application compromise and remote code execution.
Recommendation
Upgrade Next.js to version 15.5.24 or 16.3.3 (or later) depending on your branch to prevent exploitation.
Other vulnerabilities in Next.js
See all- CVE-2017-16877High
Next.js before 2.4.1 has a directory traversal vulnerability in the /_next and /static request namespace, allowing attackers to obtain sensitive information.
- CVE-2026-44578High
Next.js versions from 13.4.13 to before 15.5.16 and 16.2.5 are vulnerable to server-side request forgery (SSRF) via crafted WebSocket upgrade requests. An attacker can force the server to proxy requests to arbitrary internal or external destinations, potentially exposing internal services or cloud metadata endpoints.
- CVE-2026-94544Medium
Next.js versions 16.3.0 through 16.3.8 share cache fills for the same key 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 An overlapping regular request can receive unauthenticated unpublished content from an editor's Draft Mode fill, while an overlapping Draft Mode request can receive published content from a regular fill.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.
- CVE-2026-94543Medium
Next.js versions 15.0.0 through 15.5.27 and 16.3.8 for 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.
- CVE-2026-94486Medium
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.
- CVE-2026-94485Medium
Next.js versions 16.0.0 through 16.3.8 in the `next dev` development server expose 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.
- CVE-2026-94484Medium
Next.js versions 15.0.0 through 15.5.27 and 16.3.8 for applications with a root-level catch-all page and statically generated or Incremental Static Regeneration routes can use a shared response cache key that is insufficiently scoped to the source route. A single unauthenticated crafted request can poison that cache, causing cross-user content substitution or persistent denial of service until the poisoned entry is revalidated or replaced. This issue is fixed in versions 15.5.27 and 16.3.8.
- CVE-2026-94483Medium
Next.js from 16.0.0 to 16.3.8 has a vulnerability in image optimization that allows bypassing the allow-list and accessing private IP addresses. An attacker can control DNS resolution for a remote URL that matches images.remotePatterns.
- CVE-2026-103004Medium
Vulnerability in Next.js versions 16.3.0 to 16.3.7 causes incorrect cache keying for 'use cache' handlers, potentially leaking return values across different root params.
- CVE-2026-64649Medium
In Next.js, when a Server Action forwards or redirects a request, an attacker can cause the server to send that outbound request to a malicious host (SSRF). In some configurations, it's also possible to obtain internal values that weaken middleware/proxy authorization.
Original NVD description (English source)
Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. From 13.4.0 until 15.5.24 and 16.3.3, Next.js applications using Pages Router or App Router without Cache Components on Windows-hosted servers do not consistently escape backslashes in route segments before constructing incremental-cache paths. In packages/next/src/shared/lib/router/utils/escape-path-delimiters.ts and packages/next/src/server/lib/incremental-cache/file-system-cache.ts, a remote request can supply encoded Windows path separators that traverse outside the intended cache root and expose private build data, including the server-reference-manifest encryption key. Disclosure of that key can enable remote code execution in the affected application. This issue is fixed in versions 15.5.24 and 16.3.3.
