# React Flight / Next.js RCE Advisory Fix

## Summary
Successfully patched the React Flight / Next.js RCE advisory (CVE-2024-50617) by upgrading Next.js to a secure version.

## Vulnerability Assessment
- **Status**: Project IS AFFECTED
- **Reason**: Uses Next.js 16.0.3 (vulnerable version)
- **React Flight packages**: NOT used (no `react-server-dom-*` packages detected)

## Changes Made

### 1. Updated Dependencies
- **File**: `package.json`
- **Change**: Upgraded `next` from `16.0.3` to `16.0.7`
  - This is the patched version for Next.js 16.x as specified in the advisory

### 2. Updated Lockfile
- **File**: `pnpm-lock.yaml`
- **Status**: Automatically updated by `pnpm install`
- **Verification**: Confirmed `next@16.0.7` is now in the lockfile

### 3. Build Verification
- ✅ `npm run build` completed successfully
- ✅ All 425 static pages generated without errors
- ✅ No dependency-related build failures
- ✅ React versions (19.2.0) were NOT modified (as per advisory - Next.js automatically handles correct patched React versions)

## Implementation Details

Following the advisory guidance:
1. Detected Next.js usage in `package.json`
2. No React Flight packages (`react-server-dom-webpack`, `react-server-dom-parcel`, `react-server-dom-turbopack`) found
3. Applied Next.js patch upgrade rule: 16.x → 16.0.7
4. Did NOT manually upgrade React or React DOM (Next.js handles this automatically)
5. Installed dependencies with `pnpm install` to update lockfile
6. Verified build succeeds

## Files Modified
- `package.json`: Updated Next.js version
- `pnpm-lock.yaml`: Updated lockfile with new dependency tree

## Testing
- Build completed successfully with no errors
- All routes prerendered correctly
- No broken dependencies or peer dependency conflicts (next-auth beta warning is pre-existing and not related to this fix)

## Result
The project is now protected against the React Flight / Next.js RCE advisory by using the patched Next.js version 16.0.7.
