Next.js Server-Side Request Forgery in Server Actions

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 9, 2024 in vercel/next.js • Updated May 14, 2024

Package

npm next (npm)

Affected versions

>= 13.4.0, < 14.1.1

Patched versions

14.1.1

Description

Impact

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability was identified in Next.js Server Actions by security researchers at Assetnote. If the Host header is modified, and the below conditions are also met, an attacker may be able to make requests that appear to be originating from the Next.js application server itself.

Prerequisites

  • Next.js (<14.1.1) is running in a self-hosted* manner.
  • The Next.js application makes use of Server Actions.
  • The Server Action performs a redirect to a relative path which starts with a /.

* Many hosting providers (including Vercel) route requests based on the Host header, so we do not believe that this vulnerability affects any Next.js applications where routing is done in this manner.

Patches

This vulnerability was patched in #62561 and fixed in Next.js 14.1.1.

Workarounds

There are no official workarounds for this vulnerability. We recommend upgrading to Next.js 14.1.1.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
