GHSA-h25m-26qc-wcjf: Next Denial of Service Vulnerability
HIGHGHSA-h25m-26qc-wcjf is a HIGH (CVSS 7.5) denial of service vulnerability (CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data) affecting Next libraries in the npm ecosystem. The issue involves next.js http request deserialization can lead to dos when using insecure react server components. Remediation is available by upgrading affected packages to version 15.0.8, 15.1.12, 15.2.9, 15.3.9, 15.4.11, 15.5.10, 15.6.0-canary.61, 16.0.11, 16.1.5.

Security Impact
CVSS: 7.5
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
How to Fix GHSA-h25m-26qc-wcjf
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Next dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install next@15.0.8
npm install next@15.1.12
npm install next@15.2.9
npm install next@15.3.9
npm install next@15.4.11
npm install next@15.5.10
npm install next@15.6.0-canary.61
npm install next@16.0.11
npm install next@16.1.5
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls next
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-h25m-26qc-wcjf, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls next
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Next in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 15.0.8), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls next command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data, where the product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid. In Next, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.
