Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
Unauthorized access or privilege escalation due to a logic flaw in `auth()` in the App Router or `getAuth()` in the Pages Router.
### Affected Versions
All applications that that use `@clerk/nextjs` versions in the range of `>= 4.7.0`,`< 4.29.3` in a Next.js backend to authenticate API Routes, App Router, or Route handlers. Specifically, those that call `auth()` in the App Router or `getAuth()` in the Pages Router. Only the `@clerk/nextjs` SDK is impacted. Other SDKs, including other Javascript-based SDKs, are not impacted.
### Patches
Fix included in `@clerk/[email protected]`.
