Title

Astro: Unauthenticated path override in the @astrojs/vercel ISR function

Summary

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.

Severity

Summary

Astro: Unauthenticated path override in the @astrojs/vercel ISR function

Details

Summary

When ISR is enabled, the serverless entrypoint lets an unauthenticated request decide which route the origin renders. The internal _isr function reads the x_astro_path query parameter and rewrites the request path to it without any authentication. Edge level access controls only ever see the /_isr path, so they do not apply to the route that actually gets rendered. This is the same confused deputy problem as CVE-2026-33768, reachable again through the ISR path.

Impact

This affects apps that use @astrojs/vercel with isr: true and protect routes at the edge. Two common setups are affected:

Path rules or firewall deny rules configured on Vercel (for example blocking /admin).
Split deployments (edgeMiddleware: true) where authorization lives in Astro middleware, since that middleware runs at the edge and not in the origin.

An attacker reads any GET rendered route by requesting /_isr?x_astro_path=/the/protected/path. No credentials are required. The protected content is produced by a fresh origin render, so the attack does not depend on the response being cached first.

Details

packages/integrations/vercel/src/serverless/entrypoint.ts picks the real path like this:

if (hasValidMiddlewareSecret) {
  realPath = request.headers.get(ASTRO_PATH_HEADER);       // secret checked
} else if (request.headers.get('x-vercel-isr') === '1') {
  realPath = url.searchParams.get(ASTRO_PATH_PARAM);        // no secret checked
}

The header path is gated by the per build secret and is fine. The ISR branch is not. Two facts make it reachable by anyone:

The _isr function is publicly addressable.
Vercel sets x-vercel-isr: 1 on requests to it, including direct external requests, so the attacker does not even need to send that header.

So GET /_isr?x_astro_path=/admin sets the internal path to /admin and renders it. The edge saw only /_isr, which is allowed, so any path based rule on /admin never fires. In split deployments the edge middleware also runs against /_isr, and the origin does not run middleware at all, so middleware based auth is skipped as well.

How this regressed

CVE-2026-33768 was fixed in 10.0.2 by commit 335a204161 (PR #15959), which required the secret for every path override and removed the query parameter source. Commit aa266364fe (PR #16079, "Fix ISR path rewrite to prevent 404") brought the query parameter back, guarded only by the x-vercel-isr header. That header is not a security boundary, so the fix was effectively undone for ISR routes starting in 10.0.3.

Worth noting the contrast: the original report treated Edge Middleware as the mitigation and scoped the issue to deployments without it. Here, for split deployments, Edge Middleware is bypassed too, since the attacker reaches /_isr directly and the middleware only sees /_isr while the origin runs none.

Proof of concept

Create an Astro app with output: 'server' and adapter vercel({ isr: true }).
Add a page at /admin that returns sensitive content.
Deny /admin at the edge, for example a Vercel path rule that returns 403, or a middleware auth check in a split (edgeMiddleware: true) build.
Request /admin. It is blocked (403).
Request /_isr?x_astro_path=/admin. It returns 200 with the admin content. The response header X-Vercel-Cache: MISS confirms it was rendered fresh, not served from an existing cache entry.

What is not affected

Classic (non split) middleware. It runs inside the origin against the rewritten path, so it still applies to the target route.
State changing requests. Vercel serves ISR functions for GET only, and returns 403 for POST, PUT and DELETE, so the method preserving variant of CVE-2026-33768 does not reproduce here. Impact is limited to reading (confidentiality).
Whole deployment protection (Vercel SSO or password), which also covers /_isr.

Severity

Unauthenticated read of any GET rendered route that is protected only at the edge. No integrity or availability impact because the vector is GET only.

Suggested fix

One option would be to require the secret again for path overrides, the way PR #15959 did, so the ISR branch stops trusting the client supplied x_astro_path. The 404 that PR #16079 was fixing would then need another approach that does not rely on client input.

Severity

6.5 (Medium)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
