December 10, 2025 -
I came across a security advisory for CVE-2025-66478 related to Next.js, and I'm trying to figure out whether this vulnerability impacts projects that use only React on the frontend (no Next.js, no server components, just plain React).
Does this CVE apply strictly to Next.js environments, or should React-only projects also be concerned? Just want to be sure before I panic-upgrade everything.

Upgrade either way. If you are affected, that means you are already on 19.x, so an upgrade to 19.2.1 should be a matter of minutes and will likely also fix other bugs that might affect you. Generally: If you don't run a server with your app, but just ship JS from a static file server, you're probably safe - but upgrading is so painless in this case it doesn't make sense to even think about not doing it.
