Next.js Patches Critical Middleware Vulnerability (CVE-2025-29927)
Next.js has patched a critical vulnerability (CVE-2025-29927) that allowed attackers to bypass middleware-based authorization checks in self-hosted apps.
MCrypt compatible crypto wrapper for Node.js
npm install --save cryptian
yarn add cryptian
