CVE-2026-44579: Next.js vulnerable to Denial of Service via connection exhaustion in applications using Cache Components
(updated )
Applications using Partial Prerendering through the Cache Components feature can be vulnerable to connection exhaustion through crafted POST requests to a server action. In affected configurations, a malicious request can trigger a request-body handling deadlock that leaves connections open for an extended period, consuming file descriptors and server capacity until legitimate users are denied service.
