Pre-authentication server hang via unsafe payload deserialization
Published Dec 11, 2025 · Updated Dec 11, 2025
Denial of service in React Server Components allows remote attackers to hang server processes via crafted Server Function requests. The Server Function request deserialization path processes attacker-controlled payloads without terminating, entering an infinite loop that consumes CPU. Exposure requires a server application using a framework, bundler, or plugin that supports React Server Components; client-only React code is unaffected.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=19.0.0 <=19.0.1
- Affected versionversion=19.1.0 <=19.1.2
- Affected versionversion=19.2.0 <=19.2.1
