React Server Components have a Denial of Service Vulnerability

Description

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.

The vulnerability exists in versions 19.0.0 through 19.0.4, 19.1.0 through 19.1.5, and 19.2.0 through 19.2.4 of:

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.

Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:N)
Doesn’t really leak secrets in a meaningful way.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
