Denial of Service condition in Next.js image optimization

The image optimization feature of Next.js contained a vulnerability which allowed for a potential Denial of Service (DoS) condition which could lead to excessive CPU consumption. Not affected: The next.config.js file is configured with images.unoptimized set to true or images.loader set to a non-default value. The Next.js application is hosted on Vercel.

Next.js Cache Poisoning

By sending a crafted HTTP request, it is possible to poison the cache of a non-dynamic server-side rendered route in the pages router (this does not affect the app router). When this crafted request is sent it could coerce Next.js to cache a route that is meant to not be cached and send a Cache-Control: s-maxage=1, stale-while-revalidate header which some upstream CDNs may cache as well. To be potentially affected …

Next.js Denial of Service (DoS) condition

A Denial of Service (DoS) condition was identified in Next.js. Exploitation of the bug can trigger a crash, affecting the availability of the server. This vulnerability can affect all Next.js deployments on the affected versions.

Next.js Vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling

Inconsistent interpretation of a crafted HTTP request meant that requests are treated as both a single request, and two separate requests by Next.js, leading to desynchronized responses. This led to a response queue poisoning vulnerability in the affected Next.js versions. For a request to be exploitable, the affected route also had to be making use of the rewrites feature in Next.js.

Next.js Server-Side Request Forgery in Server Actions

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability was identified in Next.js Server Actions by security researchers at Assetnote. If the Host header is modified, and the below conditions are also met, an attacker may be able to make requests that appear to be originating from the Next.js application server itself.

Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions

Next.js is a React framework that can provide building blocks to create web applications. All of the following must be true to be affected by this CVE: Next.js version 12.2.3, Node.js version above v15.0.0 being used with strict unhandledRejection exiting AND using next start or a custom server. Deployments on Vercel (vercel.com) are not affected along with similar environments where next-server isn't being shared across requests.

Duplicate of ./npm/next/CVE-2022-36046.yml

Impact When specific requests are made to the Next.js server it can cause an unhandledRejection in the server which can crash the process to exit in specific Node.js versions with strict unhandledRejection handling. Affected: All of the following must be true to be affected by this CVE Node.js version above v15.0.0 being used with strict unhandledRejection exiting Next.js version v12.2.3 Using next start or a custom server Not affected: Deployments …

User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information

Next.js is vulnerable to User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information. In order to be affected, the next.config.js file must have an images.domains array assigned and the image host assigned in images.domains must allow user-provided SVG. If the next.config.js file has images.loader assigned to something other than default, the instance is not affected. As a workaround, change next.config.js to use a different loader configuration other than the default.

Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

Next. one must use next start or a custom server and the built-in i18n support. Deployments on Vercel, along with similar environments where invalid requests are filtered before reaching Next.js, are not affected. A patch has been released, next@12.0.9, that mitigates this issue. As a workaround, one may ensure /${locale}/_next/ is blocked from reaching the Next.js instance until it becomes feasible to upgrade.

Improper Input Validation

Next handling invalid or malformed URLs could lead to a server crash. Deployments on Vercel are not affected, along with similar environments where invalid requests are filtered before reaching Next.js.

URL Redirection to Untrusted Site (Open Redirect)

Next.js is vulnerable to an Open Redirect. Specially encoded paths could be used with the trailing slash redirect to allow an open redirect to occur to an external site. In general, this redirect does not directly harm users although can allow for phishing attacks by redirecting to an attackers domain from a trusted domain.

Path Traversal

Next.js contains a directory traversal vulnerability. Attackers could craft special requests to access files in the dist directory (.next). This does not affect files outside the dist directory (.next). In general, the dist directory only holds build assets unless your application intentionally stores other assets under this directory.

Path Traversal

Next has directory traversal under the /_next and /static request namespace, allowing attackers to obtain sensitive information.
