CVE-2026-64642
Description
A flaw was found in Next.js, a React framework. A remote attacker can bypass authentication in Next.js applications using App Router built with Turbopack and a single entry in config.i18n.locales by sending crafted requests. This vulnerability allows for unauthorized access, leading to a high impact on confidentiality through information disclosure.
Statement
Important: A flaw in Next.js applications, when specifically configured with App Router, Turbopack, and a single internationalization locale entry, allows for authentication bypass. This could enable unauthorized access to web applications utilizing such a configuration within Red Hat products.
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.

Technical Impact: Bypass Protection Mechanism; Gain Privileges or Assume Identity; Varies by Context
Attackers can bypass the security decision to access whatever is being protected. The consequences will depend on the associated functionality, but they can range from granting additional privileges to untrusted users to bypassing important security checks. Ultimately, this weakness may lead to exposure or modification of sensitive data, system crash, or execution of arbitrary code.
