CRITICAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY IN REACT SERVER COMPONENTS

There is a security vulnerability in React Server Components that allows unauthenticated remote code execution. It exploits a flaw in how React decodes payloads sent to React Server Function endpoints. Apps may still be vulnerable even if they don't implement any React Server Function endpoints. The vulnerability is present in versions 19.0, 19.1.0, 19.1.1, and 19.2.0 of react-server-dom-webpack, react-server-dom-parcel, and react-server-dom-turbopack.

Bad products are only reinforcing the belief that AI is doomed.
