AI SDK redirects security reports to HackerOne as Next.js fixes Turbopack regressions

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

Vercel's AI SDK just moved its entire vulnerability disclosure channel, and Next.js shipped a batch of Turbopack stability fixes that affect every production deploy.

The AI SDK's security reporting now points directly to Vercel's Open Source HackerOne program, replacing an unmonitored email address [1]. That matters because a real vulnerability reported to the old address could have gone unseen. Next.js, meanwhile, closed three Turbopack regressions: file existence errors now match libc behavior in module resolution [2], a build-hanging trace reporter switched to buffered synchronous IO [3], and dev startup sweeps stale content-hashed chunks from `.next/dev` after a week [4]. On the runtime side, workflow now reports replay cost for every step batch, not just the first, with a `retained` optimization tag [5], and the Python conformance lanes are advisory until the runtime supports specVersion 7 [6]. The canonical source graph research in eve [7] and the Slack Block Kit text extraction [8] round out a busy cycle, with 104 commits, 113 PRs, and 14 releases across the four repos.
