CVE-2024-47831

A flaw was found in Next.js. In certain versions, a vulnerability in the image optimization feature allows for a potential Denial of Service (DoS) condition, which could lead to excessive CPU consumption. Neither the next.config.js file that is configured with images.unoptimized set to true or images.loader set to a non-default value nor the Next.js application hosted on Vercel is affected.

This Next.js image optimization vulnerability is rated as moderate rather than important because it primarily impacts application availability and only under specific configurations. The risk is confined to setups where the default image optimization settings are in place, while applications hosted on Vercel or configured with images.unoptimized or custom images.loader settings are unaffected.
