Next.js 13.4.13 < 15.5.16 Server-Side Request Forgery

high Web App Scanning Plugin ID 115241

Synopsis

Next.js 13.4.13 < 15.5.16 Server-Side Request Forgery

Description

The version of Next.js installed on the remote host is 13.4.13 prior to 15.5.16 or 16.0.0 prior to 16.2.5. It is, therefore, affected by a Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerability in the WebSocket upgrade handler that allows unauthenticated GET-only SSRF to any host on port 80 reachable from the server.

Note that the scanner has not attempted to exploit this issue but has instead relied only on application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Next.js version 15.5.16 or later.
