next.js has a history of similar vulnerabilities.
I was made aware recently of a vulnerability that was fixed by this patch: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/pull/73482/files
In this vulnerability, adding a 'x-middleware-rewrite: https://www.example.com' header would cause the server to respond with the contents of example.com. i.e. the worlds dumbest SSRF.
Note that there is no CVE for this vulnerability, nor is there any clear information about which versions are affected.
Also note that according to the published support policy for nextjs only "stable" (15.2.x) and "canary" (15.3.x) receive patches. But for the vulnerability reported here they are releasing patches for 14.x and 13.x apparently?
https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/contributing/r...
IMO you are playing with fire using nextjs for anything where you care about security and maintenance. Which seems insane for a project with 130k+ Github stars and supported by a major company like vercel.

Static websites are so good that they even have their own three-letter abbreviation: SSG (Static Site Generation). And of course, there are plenty of frameworks that generate them for you, no need in manual labour: Next.js supports SSG, Gatsby is still pretty popular, lots of people love Docusaurus, Astro promises the best performance, and probably many more.

eleventy 🕚⚡️
A simpler site generator. Transforms a directory of templates (of varying types) into HTML.
In this post we're going to customize the UX in an Eleventy site with a Compute app running on the Fastly network at locations near your users around the world. We'll use the Eleventy Base Blog deployed to GitHub Pages, with some tweaks to its RSS feed to let us do some fun stuff at the edge. We'll write a JavaScript app that we'll compile into Web Assembly (Wasm) that can run securely on the Fastly network.

Project mention: Migrating from WordPress to Jekyll: Save Money with a Static Site | dev.to | 2024-10-21
Dynamic Content: One of WordPress’s biggest advantages is its ability to handle dynamic content like comments, forms, or membership systems. While services like Disqus or Staticman can add dynamic features like comments to Jekyll sites, they don’t offer the same level of functionality or flexibility that WordPress does. For bloggers who want more interactive features like user logins, contact forms, or complex ecommerce capabilities, WordPress may still be the better option.
