Asymmetric denial of service - ReDoS In react-server-dom-parcel

Description

React Server Components have a Denial of Service Vulnerability

Impact

A denial of service vulnerability exists in React Server Components, affecting the following packages: react-server-dom-parcel, react-server-dom-turbopack, react-server-dom-webpack versions 19.0.0, 19.1.0 and 19.2.0. The vulnerability is triggered by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to Server Function endpoints.

The payload of the HTTP request causes excessive CPU usage for up to a minute ending in a thrown error that is catchable.

We recommend updating immediately.

react-server-dom-webpack react-server-dom-parcel react-server-dom-turbopack

Patches

Fixes were back ported to versions 19.0.5, 19.1.6, and 19.2.5.

If you are using any of the above packages please upgrade to any of the fixed versions immediately.

If your app’s React code does not use a server, your app is not affected by this vulnerability. If your app does not use a framework, bundler, or bundler plugin that supports React Server Components, your app is not affected by this vulnerability.
