Next.js: Remote Code Execution in next/og ImageResponse

Overview

Impact

The Node.js ImageResponse implementation from next/og is affected by an upstream vulnerability. This can lead to remote code execution.

Affected applications pass attacker-controlled values into SVG content, attributes, or styles during image generation:

import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'

export async function GET(request: Request) {
  const value = new URL(request.url).searchParams.get('value') ?? ''

  return new ImageResponse(
    <svg width="1200" height="630">
      <title>{value}</title>
    </svg>
  )
}

Applications using the Edge ImageResponse implementation, or applications that do not pass attacker-controlled values into SVG content, attributes, or styles, are not affected.

Workaround

If upgrading is not immediately possible, do not pass attacker-controlled values into SVG content, attributes, or styles rendered by the Node.js ImageResponse implementation from next/og.

Affected packages

• next >= 16.2.0, < 16.3.6

Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

• next 16.3.6
