Today we partnered with Meta to disclose a critical vulnerability in React Server Components, impacting Next.js. Huge credit to Lachlan Davidson for responsibly reporting this to Meta and to our industry partners for responding quickly to our call-to-action. This is how open source security is supposed to be: responsible disclosure, fast mobilization, and close collaboration. Within 72 hours, we patched React, shipped WAF mitigations for all Vercel customers, and coordinated major cloud and security providers to protect their customers in the same way. The united response across the ecosystem has been incredible. AWS, Microsoft, Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, F5, Google, Deno, Netlify, Railway, Fly, and others moved quickly with platform protections and clear guidance to their customers. As a reminder, if you’re running Next.js 15 or 16, please upgrade immediately to 15.5.7 or 16.0.7. Vercel customers have platform-level protections, but upgrading is still a must.

We’ve got confirmation of a working #react2shell POC being shared. We’ve verified Vercel’s Web Application Firewall is successfully blocking this known variant. We are also seeing bad actors attempt exploitation. Upgrading React & frameworks remains a top priority.
