Next.js 16.0.x < 16.1.7 Multiple Vulnerabilities
medium Web App Scanning Plugin ID 115761
Synopsis
Next.js 16.0.x < 16.1.7 Multiple VulnerabilitiesDescription
The version of Next.js installed on the remote host is 9.5.0 prior to 15.5.14 or 16.0.0 prior to 16.1.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:- An HTTP request smuggling vulnerability in rewrites. This issue is fixed in versions 15.5.13 and 16.1.7. (CVE-2026-29057)
- A denial of service vulnerability due to unbounded next/image disk cache growth, which can exhaust storage. This issue only affects versions 10.0.0 and later. (CVE-2026-27980)
- A Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability where a null origin can bypass Server Actions CSRF checks. This issue only affects versions 16.0.1 and later. (CVE-2026-27978)
- An origin validation bypass where a null origin can bypass allowedDevOrigins protections for internal development endpoints. This issue only affects versions 16.0.1 and later. (CVE-2026-27977)
- A denial of service vulnerability due to unbounded postponed resume buffering. This issue only affects versions 16.1.0 and later. (CVE-2026-27979)
Note that the scanner has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to Next.js version 16.1.7 or later.See Also
