Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to trigger unexpected constructor execution on the client.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the SSR hydration process when processing attacker-supplied input that overwrites certain aspects of errors caught by SSR. A remote attacker can supply crafted input to trigger unexpected constructor execution on the client.
