CVE-2026-94482

Next.js before 2.4.1 has a directory traversal vulnerability in the /_next and /static request namespace, allowing attackers to obtain sensitive information.

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.

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.

A vulnerability in applications using the App router with the Cache Component can lead to remote code execution. The application must have a `use cache` function that returns multiple typed arrays.

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 An overlapping regular request can receive unauthenticated unpublished content from an editor's Draft Mode fill, while an overlapping Draft Mode request can receive published content from a regular fill.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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
