Next.js has information disclosure in development server's Model Context Protocol endpoint
The Next.js development server (`next dev`) exposes a Model Context Protocol endpoint that does not verify which website a request originates from, allowing a malicious website visited by the developer to read sensitive development data — including the project's location on disk, source code snippets from error reports, the route inventory, and development logs. Only applications run with `next dev` are affected. Production deployments do not serve this endpoint.
