CVE-2026-44574 is an authorization bypass vulnerability in Next.js affecting App Router applications that rely on middleware to protect dynamic routes. In vulnerable versions, specially crafted query parameters can influence the dynamic route value resolved by the page handler while the visible request path used by middleware remains unchanged. This creates a trust-boundary mismatch between middleware authorization decisions and the route parameters ultimately consumed by the application. As a result, a request can appear to target an allowed public path while the page is resolved as protected dynamic content, allowing unauthorized rendering of content that should have been gated by middleware checks.
