TWO CRITICAL SECURITY PATCHES LAND IN WORKFLOW AND EVE OVERNIGHT
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Vercel
Next 16.2.11 and PostCSS 8.5.12 patches ship across workflow to seal CVE vulnerabilities, while Eve locks down workflow failure visibility.
Workflow patched two dependency vulnerabilities in a single commit push: Next upgraded to 16.2.11 to address CVE-2026-64641 [1], and PostCSS bumped to 8.5.12 to address CVE-2026-45623 [2], with an override ensuring transitive PostCSS versions get patched too. Eve added a security fix [9] that keeps workflow failures private, closing an unspecified exposure vector. Beyond security, Workflow's HTTP delivery now aborts stalled requests on shutdown [3], fixing a graceful-termination hang in self-hosted deployments with short grace periods. Benchmark improvements shipped across both Workflow and Next: Workflow added SO (Stream Overhead) scenario modeling token-streaming with 300 fake chunks at 100/sec [4], while Next's render-pipeline bench now reports TTFB per route and Flight payload attribution [5]. CLI got three forward-looking improvements: team scope now persists across re-login to prevent accidental resource creation in personal accounts [6], native binary trampoline got an opt-in config gate ahead of full integration [7], and first deploys now warn when assigned to production without explicit `--prod` flag [8].
