GHSA-mg66-mrh9-m8jx
Next.js vulnerable to Denial of Service via connection exhaustion in applications using Cache Components
Quick fix
GHSA-mg66-mrh9-m8jx — next: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install next@15.5.16Details
### Impact
Applications using Partial Prerendering through the Cache Components feature can be vulnerable to connection exhaustion through crafted POST requests to a server action. In affected configurations, a malicious request can trigger a request-body handling deadlock that leaves connections open for an extended period, consuming file descriptors and server capacity until legitimate users are denied service.
### Fix
We now treat the header used for resuming Partial Prerendered requests as an internal-only header and strip it from untrusted incoming requests. This header should never be accepted directly from external clients.
### Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade immediately, block requests that would be handled by Next.js if they contain the `Next-Resume` header at the edge.
