CVE-2026-71320 Details
Description
Nuxt is an open-source web development framework for Vue.js. From 3.4.0 until 3.21.10 and 4.5.1, an attacker can inject a template key through /__nuxt_island/ props into a dynamic component when `vue.runtimeCompiler: true` is enabled, causing template execution in the Nitro process. This issue is fixed in 3.21.10 and 4.5.1.
A server-side remote code execution vulnerability has been identified in Nuxt versions 3.4.0 prior to 3.21.10 and 4.0.0 prior to 4.5.1. The issue arises when 'vue.runtimeCompiler' is enabled, allowing an attacker to inject a 'template' key into island props. This injected template is then executed in the Nitro process, leading to unauthorized code execution. The vulnerability is exploitable through the '/__nuxt_island/' endpoint by injecting a template that is compiled and executed on the server.
Upgrade to Nuxt versions 4.5.1 or 3.21.10. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, ensure 'vue.runtimeCompiler' is disabled, avoid forwarding island props into dynamic component resolutions without sanitization, and consider deploying a WAF rule to block template or render keys in island prop payloads.
