Description
Impact
The image optimization feature of Next.js contained a vulnerability which allowed for a potential Denial of Service (DoS) condition which could lead to excessive CPU consumption.
Not affected:
- The
next.config.jsfile is configured withimages.unoptimizedset totrueorimages.loaderset to a non-default value. - The Next.js application is hosted on Vercel.
Patches
This issue was fully patched in Next.js 14.2.7. We recommend that users upgrade to at least this version.
Workarounds
Ensure that the next.config.js file has either images.unoptimized, images.loader or images.loaderFile assigned.

How to fix
Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.

Weakness
CWE-674: Uncontrolled Recursion
The product does not properly control the amount of recursion that takes place, consuming excessive resources, such as allocated memory or the program stack.
How to prevent it
- Implementation: Ensure that an end condition will be reached under all logic conditions. The end condition may include checking against the depth of recursion and exiting with an error if the recursion goes too deep. The complexity of the end condition contributes to the effectiveness of this action.
- Implementation: Increase the stack size.
