Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
React Router is a router for React. In @remix-run/react versions 1.15.0 through 2.17.0. and react-router versions 7.0.0 through 7.8.2, a XSS vulnerability exists in in React Router's meta()/<Meta> APIs in Framework Mode when generating script:ld+json tags which could allow arbitrary JavaScript execution during SSR if untrusted content is used to generate the tag. There is no impact if the application is being used in Declarative Mode (<BrowserRouter>) or Data Mode (createBrowserRouter/<RouterProvider>). This issue has been patched in @remix-run/react version 2.17.1 and react-router version 7.9.0.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

XSS vulnerability in React Router's meta()/<Meta> APIs during SSR in Framework Mode allows arbitrary JavaScript execution via script:ld+json tags when untrusted content is used. Only affects Framework Mode; Declarative Mode and Data Mode are unaffected.

MitigationUpgrade to @remix-run/react 2.17.1 or react-router 7.9.0, or audit and sanitize any untrusted content used in meta tags.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check your installed @remix-run/react version
    Run `npm list @remix-run/react` or check package.json for the @remix-run/react dependency version
    Affected if Version is >= 1.15.0 and <= 2.17.0
  2. Check your installed react-router version
    Run `npm list react-router` or check package.json for the react-router dependency version
    Affected if Version is >= 7.0.0 and <= 7.8.2 (Shopify React Router)
  3. Confirm you are using Framework Mode
    Verify your app does NOT use <BrowserRouter> (Declarative Mode) or createBrowserRouter/<RouterProvider> (Data Mode). Check your entry.server.tsx or main app file for how the router is configured
    Affected if You are using Framework Mode (server.ts with createRequestHandler) rather than Declarative or Data Mode
  4. Identify if meta() or <Meta> component generates script:ld+json
    Search your codebase for `meta()` function definitions or `<Meta>` component usage, and check if any return objects contain `script:ld+json` property
    Affected if Your code generates script:ld+json tags via the meta API
  5. Check if untrusted input flows into meta() for ld+json
    Review all meta() return values that include script:ld+json and trace whether any values come from user input, URL parameters, or external APIs without sanitization
    Affected if Untrusted or user-supplied data is passed into script:ld+json meta tags

You are affected if you use an affected version of @remix-run/react (1.15.0-2.17.0) or react-router (7.0.0-7.8.2), run in Framework Mode, and pass untrusted input to script:ld+json via the meta() API.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 7.8.2
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to @remix-run/react 2.17.1 or react-router 7.9.0, or audit and sanitize any untrusted content used in meta tags.

Recommended fix High confidence

react-router 7.9.0 or @remix-run/react 2.17.1

  1. Identify which routing library is in use: react-router (7.x) or @remix-run/react (1.x-2.x)
  2. For React Router 7.x: Update package.json to specify react-router version 7.9.0 or higher
  3. For @remix-run/react: Update package.json to specify @remix-run/react version 2.17.1 or higher
  4. Run npm install or yarn to install the updated package
  5. Verify the updated version is installed by checking node_modules/react-router/package.json or node_modules/@remix-run/react/package.json
  6. Test the application to ensure the meta()/<Meta> APIs function correctly in Framework Mode
