### Impact
There is an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in React Server Components.
We recommend upgrading immediately.
The vulnerability is present in versions 19.0.0, 19.1.0, 19.1.1, and 19.2.0 of:
* [react-server-dom-webpack](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-server-dom-webpack)
* [react-server-dom-parcel](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-server-dom-parcel)
* [react-server-dom-turbopack](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-server-dom-turbopack?activeTab=readme)
### Patches
A fix was introduced in versions [19.0.1](https://github.com/facebook/react/releases/tag/v19.0.1), [19.1.2](https://github.com/facebook/react/releases/tag/v19.1.2), and [19.2.1](https://github.com/facebook/react/releases/tag/v19.2.1). If you are using any of the above packages please upgrade to any of the fixed versions immediately.
If your app’s React code does not use a server, your app is not affected by this vulnerability. If your app does not use a framework, bundler, or bundler plugin that supports React Server Components, your app is not affected by this vulnerability.
