CVE-2026-27977
No affected components available
Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. Starting in version 16.0.1 and prior to version 16.1.7, in next dev, cross-site protection for internal websocket endpoints could treat Origin: null as a bypass case even if allowedDevOrigins is configured, allowing privacy-sensitive/opaque contexts (for example sandboxed documents) to connect unexpectedly. If a dev server is reachable from attacker-controlled content, an attacker may be able to connect to the HMR websocket channel and interact with dev websocket traffic. This affects development mode only. Apps without a configured allowedDevOrigins still allow connections from any origin. The issue is fixed in version 16.1.7 by validating Origin: null through the same cross-site origin-allowance checks used for other origins. If upgrading is not immediately possible, do not expose next dev to untrusted networks and/or block websocket upgrades to /_next/webpack-hmr when Origin is null at the proxy.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker does not need any special privileges or access rights.
Limited exploitation activity has been observed. Close monitoring and planned remediation are recommended.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
