Next Vulnerable to Denial of Service with Server Components
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
A vulnerability affects certain React packages for versions 19.0.0, 19.0.1, 19.1.0, 19.1.1, 19.1.2, 19.2.0, and 19.2.1 and frameworks that use the affected packages, including Next.js 15.x and 16.x using the App Router. The issue is tracked upstream as [CVE-2025-55184](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-55184). A malicious HTTP request can be crafted and sent to any App Router endpoint that, when deserialized, can cause the server process to hang and consume CPU. This can result in denial of service in unpatched environments.
