CrushFTP and Next.js face critical vulnerabilities, raising security concerns. Rapid7 warns these flaws could lead to data breaches and unauthorized access.
All about the Vulnerability
Next.js Vulnerability (CVE-2025-29927)
A critical flaw in Next.js middleware could allow attackers to bypass authentication by manipulating request headers.
Risk & Impact:
This vulnerability stems from improper authorization handling in middleware. If an application relies solely on middleware for authentication, an attacker could potentially bypass security checks. However, the actual impact depends on how authentication is implemented.
Mitigation:
To reduce risk, developers should update to the latest Next.js versions (13.5.9, 14.2.25, 15.2.3). Applications using backend APIs for authentication are less vulnerable.
As of March 25, 2025, no active exploits have been reported.
CrushFTP Vulnerability: Unauthenticated HTTP(S) Access
CrushFTP has disclosed a security flaw allowing unauthorized access via HTTP(S) ports, potentially exposing sensitive data. Unlike the Next.js issue, CrushFTP has a history of exploitation, making this a critical risk.
Impact & Risk:
The vulnerability affects CrushFTP versions 10 and 11, posing a significant threat as attackers could exploit it to access or steal sensitive data.
Mitigation:
Users should upgrade to CrushFTP version 11.3.1 or later. Enabling the DMZ function can also prevent exploitation, even without an immediate update.
Both vulnerabilities highlight the need for proactive security and timely updates, especially for targeted technologies like CrushFTP. With no known exploits yet, organizations have a crucial opportunity to mitigate risks before threats emerge.
