Description
Astro is a web framework for content-driven websites. From 10.0.3 until 11.0.3, the Astro Vercel adapter in packages/integrations/vercel/src/serverless/entrypoint.ts accepts x_astro_path for the public /_isr function based only on the x-vercel-isr header, allowing unauthenticated GET requests to render routes protected only by Vercel edge path rules or split edge middleware. This issue is fixed in 11.0.3.

Impact

An Astro Vercel adapter bug allowed any visitor to include an x_astro_path header in an unauthenticated GET request to the ISR endpoint, overriding the intended path resolution. The path override could expose routes normally guarded by Vercel edge path rules or split edge middleware. This flaw does not directly provide code execution but permits unauthorized rendering of content or services, potentially leaking sensitive data or enabling further attacks. The weakness is rooted in improper input validation and missing authorization checks, corresponding to CWE-441 and CWE-862.

Affected Systems

Astro users who deployed the Vercel integration with versions ranging from 10.0.3 through 11.0.3. The issue resides in the packages/integrations/vercel/src/serverless/entrypoint.ts file of the Astro framework. Not all Astro deployments are affected; only those that rely on the legacy ISR function without additional safeguards.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw has a CVSS score of 6.5, indicating a moderate severity and a clear exploitation path by sending crafted headers to the /_isr endpoint. No EPSS data is available, but the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting it is not currently widely exploited. Nevertheless, the attack does not require special credentials; an attacker can easily trigger it with a simple HTTP request. The remedy is to upgrade to version 11.0.3 or later where the check is remedied.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Astro framework and the @astrojs/vercel adapter to version 11.0.3 or newer; this release removes the unchecked path override.
  • Verify that no legacy ISR endpoint is exposed in production; if an older adapter must remain, block external access to the /_isr route or enforce authentication.
  • Review Vercel edge path rules and split edge middleware settings to ensure they do not unintentionally expose protected routes through alternative paths.
