CVE-2026-42342: React Router vulnerable to DoS via unbounded path expansion in __manifest endpoint

June 3, 2026

There exists a potential DOS attack vector in React Router Framework Mode applications (as well as Remix v2.10.0 - 2.17.4). Certain requests can be crafted to consume disproportionate resources on the server, resulting in response time degredation and/or service unavailability for end users.

[!NOTE] This does not impact your React Router application if you are using Declarative Mode (<BrowserRouter>) or Data Mode (createBrowserRouter/<RouterProvider>).
