CVE-2025-29927: Critical Authorization Bypass in Next.js Middleware

On March 21, 2025, a critical vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-29927 was disclosed in the Next.js framework. This flaw allows attackers to bypass middleware-based authorization checks by exploiting the x-middleware-subrequest header, potentially granting unauthorized access to protected routes.​

🔍 Technical Details

What is Middleware in Next.js?

Middleware in Next.js enables developers to execute code before a request is completed, commonly used for tasks like authentication, redirects, and modifying responses. ​

The Vulnerability

The vulnerability arises from the misuse of the internal x-middleware-subrequest header. Originally intended to prevent recursive middleware execution, this header can be manipulated by attackers to skip middleware processing entirely. By crafting a request with this header, an attacker can bypass critical security checks implemented in middleware. ​

Affected Versions

The following Next.js versions are affected:​

  • 11.1.4 through 12.3.4
  • 13.0.0 through 13.5.8
  • 14.0.0 through 14.2.24
  • 15.0.0 through 15.2.2

Patched versions include:​

  • 12.3.5
  • 13.5.9
  • 14.2.25
  • 15.2.3 ​

🚨 Exploitation Example

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending an HTTP request with the x-middleware-subrequest header set to a specific value, such as:​

httpCopyEditGET /admin HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable-site.com
x-middleware-subrequest: middleware:middleware:middleware:middleware:middleware

This crafted header tricks Next.js into believing the middleware has already been executed multiple times, causing it to skip middleware processing and potentially granting unauthorized access.​

🛡️ Mitigation Strategies

Hackervault CVE 2025 29927

1. Upgrade Next.js

Update to the latest patched version appropriate for your application:​

  • 12.3.5
  • 13.5.9
  • 14.2.25
  • 15.2.3​

2. Implement Workarounds

If immediate upgrading is not feasible, consider the following workarounds:​

Strip the Vulnerable Header: Configure your web server or proxy to remove the x-middleware-subrequest header from incoming requests.​

Nginx:

proxy_set_header x-middleware-subrequest "";

Apache:

RequestHeader unset x-middleware-subrequest

Express.js Middleware:

app.use((req, res, next) => {
  delete req.headers['x-middleware-subrequest'];
  next();
});
``` :contentReference[oaicite:32]{index=32}

Enhance Security Checks: Ensure that critical authorization checks are not solely reliant on middleware and are enforced at multiple layers within the application.​
