Use of Cache Containing Sensitive Information Affecting next package, versions >=13.0.0 <15.5.21>=16.0.0 <16.2.11

next is a react framework.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of Cache Containing Sensitive Information in createPatchedFetcher in packages/next/src/server/lib/patch-fetch.ts. An attacker can leak a cached response body from one request to another by sending server-side fetch(new Request(...), init) calls to the same URL with different request bodies or overrides. When the Request object and the separate init object diverge, the fetch cache can key the request differently from the effective upstream request, so a response generated for one body is reused for a different body. This exposes confidential data in cached POST responses to unauthorized requests.

Notes

• Applications using the Pages Router are not in scope for this issue; the advisory applies to the server-side patched fetch path.
• The leak requires fetch(new Request(...), init) where the separate init overrides the base Request; fetch(new Request(init), init) is the safe shape called out by the maintainers.
