CVE-2026-44579: Next.js vulnerable to Denial of Service via connection exhaustion in applications using Cache Components

May 11, 2026 (updated May 14, 2026)

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.
