Remote Code Execution in next
Research is free — Hunters explains how the bug works, the root-cause code pattern, how the fix addresses it, and how to test whether a target is affected, in chat. Investigate & write exploit is a paid run — the engine reads the advisory and fix commits, then builds and validates a working proof-of-concept exploit with reproduction steps.
Affected versions
Details
Versions of `next` prior to 5.1.0 are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution. The `/path:` route fails to properly sanitize input and passes it to a `require()` call. This allows attackers to execute JavaScript code on the server. Note that prior version 0.9.9 package `next` npm package hosted a different utility (0.4.1 being the latest version of that codebase), and this advisory does not apply to those versions. ## Recommendation Upgrade to version 5.1.0.
