How to fix?

Overview

next is a react framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Interpretation Conflict via improper handling of shared cache entries for React Server Component responses. An attacker can cause unintended component payloads to be served to other users by manipulating shared cache behavior through crafted requests.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by ensuring your CDN or reverse proxy keys on the relevant RSC request headers honor Vary, or by disabling shared caching for affected App Router and RSC responses.
