Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Clerk JavaScript is the official JavaScript repository for Clerk authentication. has(), auth.protect(),
 and related authorization predicates in @clerk/shared, @clerk/nextjs, @clerk/backend, and other framework
 SDKs can return true for certain combined authorization checks when the result should be false, allowing a
 gated action to proceed for a user who does not satisfy the full set of requested conditions. This call
 shape can be bypassed if certain conditions are met: a has() or auth.protect() call that combines a
 reverification check with any of role, permission, feature, or plan, or that combines a billing check
 (feature or plan) with a role or permission check. This vulnerability is fixed in @clerk/clerk-js 5.125.10
 and 6.7.5. (CVE-2026-42349)
