CVE-2026-23869
Description
A flaw was found in react-server-dom-parcel, react-server-dom-turbopack and react-server-dom-webpack. Specially crafted HTTP requests to server function endpoints can result in an excessive consumption of CPU resources for up to a minute, causing an error that is catchable.
Statement
Applications are not vulnerable to this issue if they do not use a server, or if they do not use a framework, bundler, or plugin that supports React server components.
This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a denial of service. Due to these reasons, this flaw has been rated with an important severity.
Mitigation
Red Hat has investigated whether a possible mitigation exists for this issue, and has not been able to identify a practical example. Please update the affected package as soon as possible
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Resource Consumption (CPU); DoS: Resource Consumption (Memory); DoS: Resource Consumption (Other)
When allocating resources without limits, an attacker could prevent other systems, applications, or processes from accessing the same type of resource. It can be easy for an attacker to consume many resources by rapidly making many requests or causing larger resources to be used than is needed.
