CVE-2026-71321 (nuxt) — CWE-407 / CVSS v3 7.5 Attack vector: remote (network-reachable) / unauthenticated / no user interaction Attack surface: POST /__nuxt_island/ / `destr` / `ohash` Patched: `3.21.10` — apply immediately Workaround: Put a small request-body limit in front of `/__nuxt_island/` at your reverse proxy / edge (islands legitimately send only a compact props payload), or disable server components if unused. Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs. Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
❓ What is the problem
**A vulnerability** (CWE-407) exists in nuxt. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via `POST /__nuxt_island/` without authentication.
📍 Affected scope
nuxt — . Attack surface: POST /__nuxt_island/ / `destr` / `ohash`.
🔥 Severity
Severity: High (CVSS 7.5/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure
🔧 How to fix
Update to **3.21.10**.
🛡️ Workaround
Workaround: Put a small request-body limit in front of `/__nuxt_island/` at your reverse proxy / edge (islands legitimately send only a compact props payload), or disable server components if unused.
🔍 Detection
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual `POST /__nuxt_island/` requests with malformed payloads or SQL meta-characters. Run `grep -r 'nuxt' .` against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response Actions (7 steps)

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'nuxt' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で `nuxt` を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 3
    Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
    grep 'POST /__nuxt_island/' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'

    アクセスログで `POST /__nuxt_island/` への異常なリクエスト (不正な認証ヘッダ・SQLメタ文字)を過去 30〜90日分捜索。WAF/SIEM があれば該当パスのアラート発火履歴を確認。

  3. 5
    Apply temporary workaround mitigate
    Put a small request-body limit in front of `/__nuxt_island/` at your reverse proxy / edge (islands legitimately send only a compact props payload), or disable server components if unused.

    パッチが適用されるまでの応急処置として、Put a small request-body limit in front of `/__nuxt_island/` at your reverse proxy / edge (islands legitimately send only a compact props payload), or disable server components if unused. を実施。回避策の副作用 (機能低下) を確認した上で。

  4. 6
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade nuxt to 3.21.10

    ステージング環境で 3.21.10 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスと、Step 3 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。

  5. 7
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Replay attack against POST /__nuxt_island/ on staging to confirm patch closes the vector

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 3 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
