CVE-2026-49455
Last modified
CVE-2026-49455 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Waku is the minimal React framework. Prior to version 1.0.0-beta.1, Waku's RSC request dispatcher invokes server actions without validating the request's Origin (or Sec-Fetch-Site) header. EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
Waku is the minimal React framework. Prior to version 1.0.0-beta.1, Waku's RSC request dispatcher invokes server actions without validating the request's Origin (or Sec-Fetch-Site) header. A cross-origin web attacker can therefore cause a victim browser to issue an authenticated POST to a registered server action endpoint using a CORS-safelisted content type (text/plain), which does not trigger a preflight. Any state-mutating server action that the application exposes via 'use server' can be invoked with the victim's cookies attached. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.0-beta.1.
