How do I check whether I am affected by CVE-2026-64647?

- Check the installed Next.js version with `npx next --version` or the `next` entry in package.json and compare it to the affected ranges 13.0.0 to below 15.5.21 and 16.0.0 to below 16.2.11. - Look for server-side `fetch` calls in the app that forward request bodies taken from user input.

What is the fix for CVE-2026-64647?

- Upgrade Next.js to `16.2.11` on the 16.x line or `15.5.21` on the 15.x line. - Redeploy the application after upgrading any self-hosted builds.

Next.js: server fetch can return another request's cached response body

A server-side fetch that sends a request body containing invalid UTF-8 can return a cached response body belonging to a different request to the same URL. An attacker can receive response data meant for another user or request.

Who is affected

2 products

Applications on the affected Next.js ranges that make server-side fetch calls with request bodies built from user input can return cached response bodies across requests. The sources do not say which fetch patterns or deployment types are most exposed beyond the invalid UTF-8 condition. Teams on patched versions or without server-side fetch that forwards request bodies can skip it.
