Synopsis

The Next.js Framework on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The Next.js Framework on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability:

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in Next.js versions with Partial Prerendering (PPR) enabled when running in minimal mode. The PPR resume endpoint accepts unauthenticated POST requests with the Next-Resume: 1 header and processes attacker-controlled postponed state data. Two closely related vulnerabilities allow an attacker to crash the server process through memory exhaustion: unbounded request body buffering where the server buffers the entire POST request body into memory using Buffer.concat() without enforcing any size limit, and unbounded decompression (zipbomb) where the resume data cache is decompressed using inflateSync() without limiting the decompressed output size. Both attack vectors result in a fatal V8 out-of-memory error causing the Node.js process to terminate. (CVE-2025-59472)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Next.js Framework version 15.6.0-canary.61, 16.1.5 or later.
