MODELCONTEXTPROTOCOL REDOS PATCH SHIPS AS NEXT-DEVTOOLS TIGHTENS PLAYWRIGHT SCHEMA

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Vercel · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

A critical ReDoS vulnerability in your MCP dependencies just got patched, but your browser_eval wrapper is already broken by an upstream schema change.

Next-devtools-mcp shipped an emergency bump to @modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.25.2 [1] that patches CVE-2026-0621, a ReDoS vulnerability in the UriTemplate class where nested quantifiers cause catastrophic backtracking on crafted resource URIs. Deploy this immediately if you're running devtools in production. Separately, @playwright/mcp@0.0.75 renamed field schemas across browser_eval actions (ref becomes target, fill_form shape changed), breaking the wrapper's forwarding logic [2]. This landed and is already auto-installing, so your next browser_navigate or browser_click call will fail with InputValidationError unless you align your wrapper code. The team also added Chromium browser support for Linux arm64 , fixing a gap where certain platforms couldn't use browser_eval at all. On the CLI side, Vercel shipped step-up auth for vc env pull [3], letting you retry after a challenge_required response using device-code flow with stored refresh tokens. A separate PR simplified @vercel/vc-native's install model [4], moving to opencode-style postinstall to eliminate multiple platform binaries.
