Which versions of next are affected by GHSA-2XP9-VWFH-VXW4?

next (npm) versions >= 10.0.0, < 15.5.24 is affected.

Is there a fix for GHSA-2XP9-VWFH-VXW4?

Yes. GHSA-2XP9-VWFH-VXW4 is fixed in 15.5.24, 16.3.3. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is GHSA-2XP9-VWFH-VXW4 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether GHSA-2XP9-VWFH-VXW4 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether GHSA-2XP9-VWFH-VXW4 is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

How do I fix GHSA-2XP9-VWFH-VXW4?

Upgrade: next to 15.5.24 or later, next to 16.3.3 or later.

Summary

Next.js: Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution in Image Optimization API when AVIF files are used

A vulnerability in the underlying libheif library used by sharp which Next.js uses for image optimization can lead to remote code execution when AVIF files are optimized.

Until a fix has propagated, optimization of AVIF files is disabled.

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
