  "details" : [ "Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. From 15.2.0 to before 15.5.16 and 16.2.5, App Router applications that rely on middleware or proxy-based checks for authorization can allow unauthorized access through transport-specific route variants used for segment prefetching. In affected configurations, specially crafted .rsc and segment-prefetch URLs can resolve to the same page without being matched by the intended middleware rule, which can allow protected content to be reached without the expected authorization check. This vulnerability is fixed in 15.5.16 and 16.2.5.", "A flaw was found in Next.js. App Router applications that use middleware or proxy-based authorization checks are vulnerable to unauthorized access. A remote attacker can exploit this by crafting specific .rsc and segment-prefetch URLs, which bypass the intended middleware rules. This allows access to protected content without proper authorization." ],
  "statement" : "This is an Important flaw in Next.js App Router applications that utilize middleware or proxy-based authorization. A remote attacker can bypass these security checks by crafting specific URLs, leading to unauthorized access to protected content. This is due to transport-specific route variants used for segment prefetching not being consistently matched by middleware rules.",
