Vulnerability in nuxt (CVE-2026-71320)

Summary

Vulnerability in nuxt (CVE-2026-71320). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. 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 vue.runtimeCompiler: true is enabled (off by default) and the application has a server island component that forwards props into Vue's dynamic component resolution (``, resolveDynamicComponent, or h()), an attacker can inject a template key into the island props to achieve server-side remote code execution in the Nitro process.

{ "as": { "template": "" } }

Vue's runtime template compiler compiles and executes the attacker-controlled template in the server process. The same primitive also works on the client side when the runtime compiler is active there, though the server-side path is the primary concern.

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, provided vue.runtimeCompiler is also enabled. Note this does not require the island author to explicitly forward a prop: island props that the island component does not declare fall through as attributes onto its single root element (standard Vue attribute inheritance), so an island whose root is a polymorphic component receives the attacker's as value implicitly. These libraries are not themselves vulnerable; they are noted only because they commonly provide the dynamic-component sink.

❓ What is the problem

A vulnerability (CWE-74) exists in nuxt. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via resolveDynamicComponent without authentication.

📍 Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of nuxt. Attack surface: resolveDynamicComponent / template / asChild / vue.runtimeCompiler.

🔥 Severity

Severity: High (CVSS 8.1/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 3.21.10.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'nuxt' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

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. 2
    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を含めること。

  3. 3
    Post-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。

Affected packages
