## What is CVE-2026-64645?

CVE-2026-64645 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Vercel Next.js, published on 27 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. In versions 12.0.0 through 15.5.20 and 16.0.0 through 16.2.10, a
 rewrites() or redirects() rule that builds its external destination hostname from request-controlled input can be pointed at an arbitrary hostname, regardless of the rule's hostname suffix. For a rewrite, Next.js proxies the request to that arbitrary host and serves the response from the application's origin, leading to Server-Side Request forgery. A redirects() rule configured this way is vulnerable to an Open Redirect. This issue has been fixed in versions 15.5.21 and 16.2.11.

Weakness: CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery), CWE-601 (URL Redirection to Untrusted Site)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-64645 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-64645 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Vercel Next.js, published on 27 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-64645 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- next (npm): affected from 12.0.0; fixed in 15.5.21
- next (npm): affected from 12.0.0; fixed in 15.5.21
- next (npm): affected from 16.0.0; fixed in 16.2.11

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
