This issue is a follow up to CVE-2026-53667, and only affects consuming applications if they are using the unstable RSC APIs. This issue has been fixed in version 7.18.0.

React Router: RSCErrorHandler Missing Protocol Validation (XSS)

https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-h8fp-f39c-q6mh

This is a follow up to https://github.com/remix-run/react-router/security/advisories/GHSA-8646-j5j9-6r62. React Router was alerted of a code path in the (unstable) RSC error handling path in which redirects from untrusted sources could still result in an XSS vector via attacker-supplied redirect targets

[!NOTE] This only affects your application if you are using the unstable RSC APIs
