brophdawg11 published GHSA-f22v-gfqf-p8f3 Jun 2, 2026

Package

npm react-router (npm)

Affected versions

>=7.5.1,<7.13.2

Patched versions

>=7.13.2

Description

When using React Router v7 Framework Mode with Pre-rendering enabled, an improper neutralization of the HTTP Location header value can permit Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in statically generated HTML files if the redirect location comes from an untrusted source.

Note

This does not impact your React Router application if you are using Declarative Mode (<BrowserRouter>) or Data Mode (createBrowserRouter/<RouterProvider>).

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
