Unauthenticated server crash via crafted function requests
Published May 6, 2026 · Updated May 6, 2026
Denial of service in affected Meta React 19 Server Components packages allows remote attackers to crash servers via crafted HTTP requests. The public advisory identifies Server Function endpoints as the request locus but does not disclose which parser or resource-allocation operation mishandles the crafted input. Exposure requires server-side React and a framework, bundler, or plugin supporting React Server Components; successful requests can exhaust memory or CPU and interrupt the application.

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 <=19.0.5
- Affected versionversion=19.1.0 <=19.1.6
- Affected versionversion=19.2.0 <=19.2.5
