NewCVE-2026-71321 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade @nuxt/nitro-server to version 3.21.10, 4.5.1 or higher.
Overview
@nuxt/nitro-server is a Nitro server integration for Nuxt
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via the island renderer endpoint when attacker-controlled input is decoded and hashed before URL-resident hash validation. An attacker can exhaust CPU resources and degrade or stall the server by sending large, deeply nested JSON payloads to the endpoint, causing the server to process and reject the request only after significant computation.
Note: This is only exploitable if the server is accessible to unauthenticated users and does not enforce request body size or nesting depth limits.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by placing a small request-body limit in front of /__nuxt_island/ at your reverse proxy or edge, or by disabling server components if unused.
