CVE-2026-23870
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 · uneditedA denial of service vulnerability could be triggered by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to server function endpoints, this could lead to server crashes, out-of-memory exceptions or excessive CPU usage; affecting the following packages: react-server-dom-webpack, react-server-dom-parcel, react-server-dom-turbopack (versions 19.0.0 through 19.0.5, 19.1.0 through 19.1.6, and 19.2.0 through 19.2.5).
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 confidenceA denial of service vulnerability in React Server Components packages (react-server-dom-webpack, react-server-dom-parcel, react-server-dom-turbopack) where specially crafted HTTP requests to server function endpoints can trigger server crashes, out-of-memory exceptions, or excessive CPU consumption.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed React Server Components packagesRun 'npm list react-server-dom-webpack react-server-dom-parcel react-server-dom-turbopack' or check package.json dependencies for any of these three packagesAffected if Any of these three packages appear in installed dependencies
-
Check the installed version of affected packagesRun 'npm list react-server-dom-webpack react-server-dom-parcel react-server-dom-turbopack' to see version numbers, then compare against known patched versions from React release notesAffected if Installed version has not received the CVE patch (patched versions vary by React release)
-
Confirm server function endpoint exposureInspect application code and server configuration for HTTP route handlers that expose React Server Component function endpoints (typically paths like '/react/__function' or similar server function routes)Affected if HTTP endpoints that invoke React server functions are configured and accessible
-
Check if application uses Server Actions or Server FunctionsSearch codebase for 'use server' directives in component files or function definitions that could be invoked via HTTP requestsAffected if Server Actions or Server Functions are defined and could receive HTTP requests
Affected if React Server Components packages (react-server-dom-webpack/parcel/turbopack) with unpatched versions are installed AND HTTP-accessible server function endpoints are configured in the application.

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 · scopedUpgrade affected React packages to patched versions when available, and implement rate limiting or request validation on server function endpoints as a defense-in-depth measure.
React 19.3.0 or later (contains patched react-server-dom-* packages)
- Upgrade to the latest stable React release (19.3.0 or later) which includes patched versions of react-server-dom-webpack, react-server-dom-parcel, and react-server-dom-turbopack
- Run `npm install react@latest react-dom@latest` or `yarn upgrade react react-dom` to update dependencies
- If using a framework (Next.js, Remix), ensure it uses the patched React version by checking its dependency requirements
- Restart the development server and rebuild production bundles to ensure the patched packages are loaded
- Monitor server resource usage after deploying to verify the DoS vulnerability is mitigated
