Technical details

A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in Next.js due to excessive iteration (CWE-834) when processing crafted requests. The issue resides in the App Router component when at least one Server Action is defined. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send specially crafted requests that trigger high CPU utilization, blocking the event loop and preventing the process from handling subsequent requests. The vulnerability affects versions 13.0.0 through 15.5.20 and 16.0.0 through 16.2.10. It has been remediated in versions 15.5.21 and 16.2.11 by improving the validation performance of Multi-Page Application (MPA) form submissions.

Affected products
