Summary
The article discusses a critical security vulnerability in Next.js applications where 500 Internal Server Errors can indicate Remote Code Execution (RCE) attacks. Attackers exploit deserialization vulnerabilities that execute malicious code before logging and validation systems can detect them, using error responses as feedback to refine their attacks and achieve full server compromise. The article warns that traditional logging systems show nothing suspicious, making these attacks particularly dangerous and difficult to detect.
