CVE-2017-16877 describes a directory traversal vulnerability in ZEIT Next.js versions prior to 2.4.1. This flaw allows attackers to access sensitive information by manipulating requests under the /_next and /static namespaces. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (High), it represents a significant risk due to its network-based attack vector and low attack complexity, potentially leading to critical information disclosure.
