How severe is CVE-2026-32887?

CVE-2026-32887 has a CVSS score of 7.4/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-32887?

CVE-2026-32887 affects the following packages: effect (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix CVE-2026-32887?

Update effect to 3.20.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-32887 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-32887 in my npm dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for effect. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-32887 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-32887?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-32887 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2026-32887 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-32887 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-32887?

CVE-2026-32887 is classified as CWE-362 (CWE-362). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2026-32887 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-32887 was published on March 20, 2026 and was last updated on July 15, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Effect is a TypeScript framework that consists of several packages that work together to help build TypeScript applications. Prior to version 3.20.0, when using RpcServer.toWebHandler (or HttpApp.toWebHandlerRuntime) inside a Next.js App Router route handler, any Node.js AsyncLocalStorage-dependent API called from within an Effect fiber can read another concurrent request's context — or no context at all. Under production traffic, auth() from @clerk/nextjs/server returns a different user's session. Version 3.20.0 contains a fix for the issue.
