CVE-2026-42342: Remix React Router DoS via unbounded path expansion in __manifest

CVE-2026-42342 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-06-02

React Router, a popular library for managing navigation in web applications, is vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack when used in Framework Mode. An attacker can send specially crafted requests to a specific internal endpoint that cause the server to consume excessive resources. This can lead to significant slowdowns or make the application completely unavailable to legitimate users.
