Technical details
The @astrojs/vercel serverless entrypoint reads the x_astro_path query parameter (via ISR) and the x-astro-path header to override the internal request path without authentication. While the header path is protected by a per-build middleware secret, the ISR query parameter path is guarded only by the x-vercel-isr header, which Vercel sets on all requests including direct external ones—meaning any caller can supply x_astro_path. This creates a confused deputy problem: edge firewalls and path-based rules see only the /_isr path (allowed), while the origin renders the attacker-controlled path. In split deployments with edge middleware, the middleware runs only against /_isr and never reaches the origin, so authorization is completely bypassed. The vulnerability is reachable via GET requests only (POST/PUT/DELETE are blocked by Vercel's ISR layer), limiting impact to confidentiality. The issue was introduced in version 10.0.3 when a fix for a prior path override vulnerability was weakened. A patch is available in @astrojs/vercel 11.0.3 and later.
