Vulnerability in nuxt (CVE-2026-71318)
Summary
Vulnerability in nuxt (CVE-2026-71318). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via resolveDynamicComponent. Mitigation: upgrade to 3.21.10 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Impact
Nuxt server islands accept props via the /__nuxt_island/ endpoint. When an application has a server island component that forwards props directly into Vue's dynamic component resolution (``, resolveDynamicComponent, or h()), an attacker can pass a plain string value (rather than a component definition) to instantiate any globally-registered Vue component or any native HTML element.
For example:
{ "as": "SomeGlobalComponent" }
...resolves and renders SomeGlobalComponent if it is globally registered, even though the attacker should only be able to drive props for the island's declared component. Similarly, { "as": "iframe" } renders an `` element.
Unlike the primary RCE vector (GHSA-9473-5f9j-94wq), this does not require vue.runtimeCompiler to be enabled. A plain string prop is sufficient to trigger component resolution. The template/render key guard that addresses the RCE vector does not block plain string values.
Some component libraries expose a polymorphic as / asChild prop that forwards its value into ``; @nuxt/ui (via reka-ui) is a widely used example. An application is affected if such a component receives the attacker-controlled value inside a server island. Note this does not require explicit prop forwarding: island props the island component does not declare fall through as attributes onto its single root element, so an island whose root is a reka-ui / @nuxt/ui component receives the attacker's as value impl…

Response actions
Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order
-
1Identify 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。 -
2Apply temporary workaround mitigate
set inheritAttrs: falseパッチが適用されるまでの応急処置として、set inheritAttrs: false を実施。回避策の副作用 (機能低下) を確認した上で。
-
3Apply 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を含めること。
-
4Post-deployment verification verify
Confirm patched version is live in production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。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
