Impact
Crafted requests targeting Next.js applications using App Router built with Turbopack and a single entry in config.i18n.locales can bypass middleware/proxy based authentication.
Workarounds
If you cannot upgrade immediately, enforce authorization in the page's server-side data path instead of relying solely on middleware.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in Next.js App Router built with Turbopack when using a single i18n locale allows unauthenticated attackers to circumvent middleware or proxy‑based authentication via crafted requests. The vulnerability affects Next.js versions 16.0.0 through 16.2.10, and is exploitable without any user interaction. A patch is available in version 16.2.11.
