As of 5 Nov 2026, the latest release of next on npm is 16.4.5. No published advisory (OSV) matches 16.4.5; 77 more affect older versions only. No field reports on 16.4.5 yet. Security status: clear. npm:next **16.4.5**latest on npm **0**advisories matching 16.4.5 **77**advisories on older versions only **0**field reports on 16.4.5 ## What the status means Security status: **clear** · Forge verdict: not enough reports yet Clear: no published advisory (OSV) matched 16.4.5 and no field report flagged it, as of 5 Nov 2026. Clear means no known pattern or advisory matched, not that a tool is safe. Advisories are matched to one exact version. An advisory can only be matched once it is published, and field reports need 5 people, at least 2 verified, before a version gets a Forge Score ([methodology](https://theagentforge.io/methodology)). ## Published advisories (OSV) | Advisory | Kind | Matches 16.4.5 | Fixed in | Published | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [GHSA-26hh-7cqf-hhc6](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-26hh-7cqf-hhc6) CVE-2026-45109 | vulnerability | no | 15.5.18, 16.2.6 | 2026-05-11 | | [GHSA-673q-mjm6-r5xr](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-673q-mjm6-r5xr) | vulnerability | no | 16.4.1 | 2026-10-22 | | [GHSA-h694-7cp9-m8p3](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-h694-7cp9-m8p3) CVE-2026-103004 | vulnerability | no | 16.3.8 | 2026-10-22 | | [GHSA-p3m5-59mp-jv5r](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-p3m5-59mp-jv5r) CVE-2026-94482 | vulnerability | no | 15.5.28, 16.4.1 | 2026-10-22 | | [GHSA-2464-fhr4-w9xw](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-2464-fhr4-w9xw) | vulnerability | no | 15.5.28, 16.4.1 | 2026-10-22 | | [GHSA-3w37-wq28-93x7](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-3w37-wq28-93x7) CVE-2026-94544 | vulnerability | no | 16.3.8 | 2026-10-07 | | [GHSA-4jqv-mc3x-m676](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-4jqv-mc3x-m676) CVE-2026-94543 | vulnerability | no | 15.5.27, 16.3.8 | 2026-10-07 | | [GHSA-cjq9-62q9-8jv4](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-cjq9-62q9-8jv4) CVE-2026-94483 | vulnerability | no | 16.3.8 | 2026-10-07 | | [GHSA-39w2-rjm5-chcv](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-39w2-rjm5-chcv) CVE-2026-94486 | vulnerability | no | 16.3.8 | 2026-10-07 | | [GHSA-mcj8-r9mp-w47p](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-mcj8-r9mp-w47p) CVE-2026-94484 | vulnerability | no | 16.3.8, 15.5.27 | 2026-10-07 | | [GHSA-f87g-xv8r-7p7x](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-f87g-xv8r-7p7x) CVE-2026-94485 | vulnerability | no | 16.3.8 | 2026-10-07 | | [GHSA-vcvr-r3jv-pc5j](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-vcvr-r3jv-pc5j) | vulnerability | no | 16.3.6 | 2026-09-30 | | [GHSA-p9j2-gv94-2wf4](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-p9j2-gv94-2wf4) CVE-2026-64645 | vulnerability | no | 15.5.21, 16.2.11 | 2026-07-22 | | [GHSA-955p-x3mx-jcvp](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-955p-x3mx-jcvp) CVE-2026-64643 | vulnerability | no | 15.5.21, 16.2.11 | 2026-07-22 | | [GHSA-6gpp-xcg3-4w24](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-6gpp-xcg3-4w24) CVE-2026-64642 | vulnerability | no | 16.2.11 | 2026-07-22 | | [GHSA-68g3-v927-f742](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-68g3-v927-f742) CVE-2026-64648 | vulnerability | no | 15.5.21, 16.2.11 | 2026-07-22 | | [GHSA-mg66-mrh9-m8jx](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-mg66-mrh9-m8jx) CVE-2026-44579 | vulnerability | no | 15.5.16, 16.2.5 | 2026-05-11 | | [GHSA-gx5p-jg67-6x7h](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-gx5p-jg67-6x7h) CVE-2026-44580 | vulnerability | no | 15.5.16, 16.2.5 | 2026-05-11 | | [GHSA-ffhc-5mcf-pf4q](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-ffhc-5mcf-pf4q) CVE-2026-44581 | vulnerability | no | 15.5.16, 16.2.5 | 2026-05-11 | | [GHSA-8h8q-6873-q5fj](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-8h8q-6873-q5fj) | vulnerability | no | 15.5.16, 16.2.5 | 2026-05-11 | | [GHSA-492v-c6pp-mqqv](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-492v-c6pp-mqqv) CVE-2026-44574 | vulnerability | no | 15.5.16, 16.2.5 | 2026-05-11 | | [GHSA-3g8h-86w9-wvmq](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-3g8h-86w9-wvmq) CVE-2026-44572 | vulnerability | no | 15.5.16, 16.2.5 | 2026-05-11 | | [GHSA-36qx-fr4f-26g5](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-36qx-fr4f-26g5) CVE-2026-44573 | vulnerability | no | 15.5.16, 16.2.5 | 2026-05-11 | | [GHSA-267c-6grr-h53f](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-267c-6grr-h53f) CVE-2026-44575 | vulnerability | no | 15.5.16, 16.2.5 | 2026-05-11 | | [GHSA-q4gf-8mx6-v5v3](https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-q4gf-8mx6-v5v3) | vulnerability | no | 15.5.15, 16.2.3 | 2026-04-10 | 52 more on [OSV](https://osv.dev/list?ecosystem=npm&q=next).
