NEXT.JS PATCHES FIVE SECURITY HOLES OVERNIGHT WHILE VERCEL CLI GAINS AI GATEWAY BUDGET CONTROLS

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Vercel

Five security advisories dropped across Next.js in the last 24 hours, ranging from origin validation on internal redirects to fetch cache key collisions that could leak cached responses between requests.

The Next.js team rolled out fixes for origin header spoofing in custom servers [1], improper encoding of exotic rewrite parameters [2], fetch cache key collisions on Request objects [3], byte-alignment bugs in binary fetch bodies [4], and unvalidated server reference lookups in the client manifest [5]. None of these are trivial. Meanwhile on the CLI side, [email protected] [6] ships new `ai-gateway budgets` commands [7] to set per-team and per-project spend caps, following the same pattern as the `ai-gateway rules` interface. The CLI also hardened its sensitive environment variable handling across all commands that fetch secrets [8], not just `vercel env pull`, so device-code re-auth now works uniformly in `vercel dev`, `vercel build`, `vercel link`, and OIDC flows. On the runtime side, the Workflow SDK now enforces the published per-run event limit [10] and fixes unbounded retries on timed-out steps [11], closing two operational pain points. The Python package [9] shipped a refactor to simplify distribution handling. Vercel Eve fixed an auth challenge advertisement bug [12] so Basic-auth prompts actually appear in browsers, ported the Nuxt integration to stable services routing [13], and overhauled the summarizer input for AI agent compaction to preserve full task context instead of truncating at 280 chars [14]. Chat picked up attachment-only message handling [15], custom token factory forwarding for Teams [16], and a new `chat/workflow` export for durable human-in-the-loop approvals [17].
