Last week we announced an upcoming security release for .js. Earlier today , we moved the release forward after identifying an additional critical severity vulnerability in one of our upstream dependencies.
Updates are now available in v16.3.3 (Active LTS) and v15.5.24 (Maintenance LTS) to address these issues. Please patch your .js dependencies to maintain the security of your applications.
GHSA-2xp9-vwfh-vxw4 / GHSA-g89c-p67h-r497
A vulnerability in the underlying libheif library used by sharp can lead to unauthenticated remote code execution when .js optimizes an attacker-controlled AVIF image. The patched releases disable AVIF optimization until an upstream fix is propagated.
CVE-2026-75604 / GHSA-p293-qw3h-jr36
A vulnerability in applications using both the Pages Router and App Router without Cache Components can lead to unauthenticated remote code execution when the .js server uses a Windows filesystem. Linux and macOS are not affected by this issue. There is no known workaround for affected Windows-hosted applications.
We work with a talented set of researchers to secure .js and other open source frameworks through Vercel's Open Source Bug Bounty . Anyone interested in contributing to the security of eligible frameworks is encouraged to participate there.
