SCA: security update for next (GHSA-q8wf-6r8g-63ch)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445137

Description

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

- Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. In versions 15.5.0 through 15.5.20
and 16.0.0 through 16.2.10, when self-hosting Next.js with the default image loader, the Image
Optimization API can optimize remotely hosted images if configured (not enabled by default). If those
images contain malicious content, they can cause CPU exhaustion in /_next/image endpoints.Only
config.images.remotePatterns is affected, and just the patterns in that array, whereas
config.images.unoptimized: true, config.images.loader: 'custom', and Vercel are not impacted. This issue
has been fixed in versions 15.5.21 and 16.2.11. (CVE-2026-64644)

Solution

Update the next library and its related packages to version 15.5.21 or later.
