NewCVE-2026-27980 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade next to version 16.1.7, 16.2.0-canary.54 or higher.
Overview
next is a react framework.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling due to the lack of an upper bound on the disk cache used by the image optimization. An attacker can exhaust disk storage by generating a large number of unique image optimization variants, leading to service disruption.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by periodically cleaning the .next/cache/images directory or by reducing the number of possible image variants through configuration of images.localPatterns, images.remotePatterns, and images.qualities.
