Unauthenticated Denial of Service in React Router __manifest endpoint

High
brophdawg11 published GHSA-chx6-hx7r-mcp5 Jul 22, 2026

Package

npm react-router (npm)

Affected versions

>=7.0.0,< 7.18.0

Patched versions

>=7.18.0

Description

This is a follow up to GHSA-8x6r-g9mw-2r78 that covers additional reported scenarios in which the manifest endpoint could be accessed via unauthenticated targeted requests that would put heavy load on the server and slow down response times.

Note

This only impacts Framework Mode applications. This does not impact your application if you are using Declarative or Data Mode.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

CVE ID

CVE-2026-55685

Weaknesses

Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource. Learn more on MITRE.

Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity

An algorithm in a product has an inefficient worst-case computational complexity that may be detrimental to system performance and can be triggered by an attacker, typically using crafted manipulations that ensure that the worst case is being reached. Learn more on MITRE.
