Practical Security Guides For Your Team

Your website uses Next.js, a popular web framework, which includes a feature that automatically resizes and optimises images for visitors. A flaw in versions before 16.1.7 means this feature stores an unlimited number of image variants on disk with no cap — like a filing cabinet with no limit on how many folders can be added. An attacker could deliberately flood this cache to fill up your server's storage and take your site offline.

Your website's Next.js framework has a flaw in how it forwards certain web requests to your backend servers. Under specific conditions, an attacker could craft a specially shaped request that tricks the system into reaching internal or admin areas of your backend that were never meant to be publicly accessible. This only affects self-hosted setups — if your site runs on Vercel, you are not affected.

Your website uses a feature in Next.js that automatically resizes and optimises images. A flaw in versions before 15.5.10 means an attacker could point this feature at an extremely large image and force your server to run out of memory — crashing your site. The attacker needs to be able to host or control a large image on a domain your site is already configured to trust.

Your website is running an outdated version of Next.js (the framework powering your web app) that contains a known security flaw. Under specific conditions, this flaw could allow an outside visitor to trick your server into making requests to internal systems it shouldn't be able to reach. A patch is available and the fix is straightforward — update to the latest version.

Your website is running an older version of Next.js (a popular web framework) that has a known weakness in how it handles images. An attacker could repeatedly trigger the image processing feature in a way that overloads your server, making your site slow or temporarily unavailable. Upgrading to the latest version closes this gap.

A flaw in a specific Next.js feature called Partial Prerendering (PPR) allows anyone on the internet to crash your web server by sending a specially crafted request — no login required. This only affects self-hosted Next.js applications running in a specific 'minimal mode' configuration with PPR turned on. If your app is hosted on Vercel's platform, you are not affected.
