Technical details

The vulnerability stems from an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-53722 in the no-pages router. When attacker-controlled input to NuxtLink's `to` prop is prefixed with an ASCII C0 control character, the router classifies it as an internal route before protocol validation occurs and passes it to the anchor href. Browsers strip the leading control character, leaving a javascript: URL executable in the application's origin. The unsafe href is rendered in server-generated HTML, requiring user click for execution.
