Authorization Bypass in Next.js Middleware
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
# Impact
It is possible to bypass authorization checks within a Next.js application, if the authorization check occurs in middleware.
# Patches
* For Next.js 15.x, this issue is fixed in `15.2.3`
* For Next.js 14.x, this issue is fixed in `14.2.25`
* For Next.js 13.x, this issue is fixed in 13.5.9
* For Next.js 12.x, this issue is fixed in 12.3.5
* For Next.js 11.x, consult the below workaround.
_Note: Next.js deployments hosted on Vercel are automatically protected against this vulnerability._
# Workaround
If patching to a safe version is infeasible, we recommend that you prevent external user requests which contain the `x-middleware-subrequest` header from reaching your Next.js application.
