CVE-2026-44575: Next.js has a Middleware / Proxy bypass in App Router applications via segment-prefetch routes

May 11, 2026

App Router applications that rely on middleware or proxy-based checks for authorization can allow unauthorized access through transport-specific route variants used for segment prefetching. In affected configurations, specially crafted .rsc and segment-prefetch URLs can resolve to the same page without being matched by the intended middleware rule, which can allow protected content to be reached without the expected authorization check.
