Summary
Next.js: null origin can bypass Server Actions CSRF checks
Details

Summary

origin: null was treated as a "missing" origin during Server Action CSRF validation. As a result, requests from opaque contexts (such as sandboxed iframes) could bypass origin verification instead of being validated as cross-origin requests.

Impact

An attacker could induce a victim browser to submit Server Actions from a sandboxed context, potentially executing state-changing actions with victim credentials (CSRF).

Patches

Fixed by treating 'null' as an explicit origin value and enforcing host/origin checks unless 'null' is explicitly allowlisted in experimental.serverActions.allowedOrigins.

Workarounds

If upgrade is not immediately possible:

  • Add CSRF tokens for sensitive Server Actions.
  • Prefer SameSite=Strict on sensitive auth cookies.
  • Do not allow 'null' in serverActions.allowedOrigins unless intentionally required and additionally protected.
