CVE-2025-57822: Next.js Middleware - Server-Side Request Forgery

id: CVE-2025-57822

info:
  name: Next.js Middleware - Server-Side Request Forgery
  author: prdngr,nicolas-latacora
  severity: medium
  description: |
    In Next.js prior to versions 14.2.32 and 15.4.7, when request headerswere insecurely passed to NextResponse.next(), an attacker could exploit this behavior to perform Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks.
  impact: |
    Attackers can manipulate request headers to perform SSRF attacks by forcing the server to make requests to arbitrary internal or external URLs when middleware passes headers unsafely.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade Next.js to version 14.2.32, 15.4.7, or later that properly validates and sanitizes request headers in NextResponse.next().
