So this is part of the "React2Shell" CVE-2025-55182 issue? I find it interesting that this seems to get so little publicity. Almost like the issue is normal or expected. And it looks like the affected versions go back a little over a year. So if you've deployed anything with Next.js over the last 12 months your web app is now probably part of a million node bot net. And everyone's advice is just "use docker" or "install a firewall".

I'm not even sure what to say, or think, or even how to feel about the frontend ecosystem at this point. I've been debating on leaving the whole "web app" ecosystem as my main employment ventures and applying to some places requiring C++. C++ seems much easier to understand than what ever the latest frontend fad is. /rant

You can write web apps without touching the hottest JS framework of the week. I've never touched these frameworks that try to blur the line between frontend and backend.

Pick a solid technology (.NET, Java, Go, etc...) for the backend and use whatever you want for your frontend. Voila, less CVEs and less churn!
