CVE-2026-21884: React Router SSR XSS in ScrollRestoration

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 32/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.53% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: @remix-run/react (npm) 2.17.3; react-router (npm) 7.12.0; automation-controller (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.6::el9) 0:4.7.9-1.el9ap.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to @remix-run/react (npm) 2.17.3; react-router (npm) 7.12.0; automation-controller (Red Hat:ansible_automation_platform_developer:2.6::el9) 0:4.7.9-1.el9ap or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

React Router is a router for React. In @remix-run/react version prior to 2.17.3. and react-router 7.0.0 through 7.11.0, a XSS vulnerability exists in in React Router's <ScrollRestoration> API in Framework Mode when using the getKey/storageKey props during Server-Side Rendering which could allow arbitrary JavaScript execution during SSR if untrusted content is used to generate the keys. There is no impact if server-side rendering in Framework Mode is disabled, or if Declarative Mode (<BrowserRouter>) or Data Mode (createBrowserRouter/<RouterProvider>) is being used. This issue has been patched in @remix-run/react version 2.17.3 and react-router version 7.12.0.
