Affected packages

• npm next: >= 13.0.0, < 15.5.21 → fixed in 15.5.21 • npm next: >= 16.0.0, < 16.2.11 → fixed in 16.2.11

Description

Impact A server-side `fetch` with a request body may return a cached response body from a different request to the same URL but different body. Confidential data in the `POST`'s response body would then leak to unauthorized requests. Though the request itself will not be deduped. This is only an issue when receiving request bodies with a content type charset other than UTF-8. For example, the UTF-16 byte sequences for `삃삃` and `섄섄` in the request body would share the same cache. Workarounds If you cannot upgrade, consider only making fetch requests with UTF-8 bodies (default in Next.js). Applications using Pages Router are not vulnerable.
