CVE-2026-40299: next-intl has an open redirect vulnerability
(updated )
Applications using the next-intl middleware with localePrefix: 'as-needed' could construct URLs where path handling and the WHATWG URL parser resolved a relative redirect target to another host (e.g. scheme-relative // or control characters stripped by the URL parser), so the middleware could redirect the browser off-site while the user still started from a trusted app URL.
