Vercel patches two critical Next.js unauthenticated RCE flaws: a libheif AVIF heap overflow (CVSS 9.5) and a Windows path traversal (CVE-2026-75604).

Vercel patched two critical Next.js flaws enabling unauthenticated remote code execution: a heap buffer overflow in libheif's AVIF image scaling (GHSA-2xp9-vwfh-vxw4, CVSS v4 9.5) and a Windows path traversal (CVE-2026-75604, CVSS 9.0). The AVIF flaw affects only sites explicitly enabling AVIF optimization and overwrites roughly 16,384 bytes past the buffer; the path traversal affects Windows-hosted Next.js deployments on versions 13.4-15.5.23 and 16.0-16.3.2. Fixes shipped in Next.js 15.5.24 and 16.3.3 on August 25, 2026, with the AVIF researchers releasing a Python PoC demonstrating RCE on multiple applications. No exploitation had been reported as of August 27, 2026.

Microsoft’s Patching

Microsoft's September Patch Tuesday fixes a record 972 vulnerabilities, 112 rated critical, amid AI-accelerated vulnerability discovery.

Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday patches a record ~972 vulnerabilities, 112 rated critical, following records of 570 two months ago and ~620 last month. Schneier attributes the surge to AI-powered vulnerability finding, citing an open letter from OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, Google, Microsoft and roughly 100 organizations warning of an AI-enabled attack tsunami. He predicts AIs will reverse-engineer exploits from patches, weaponizing flaws immediately upon release and shrinking the patch window to 'immediately.'

A Checkmarx write-up contrasts traditional software patch cycles with blockchain development, where there is no Patch Tuesday and fixes require on-chain upgrades. It cites stats that median disclosure-to-weaponization time collapsed from 840 days to 1.6 days and that 80% of exploitations now occur on or before disclosure day. The piece advocates fusion-grade application security for Solidity teams before contracts deploy.
