Hi @PiniShv, I'm keeping the advisory as it currently is because the CVSS 4.0 score provided by the maintainers in GHSA-h27x-g6w4-24gq is both accurate and adequate. Thank you for your interest in GHSA-h27x-g6w4-24gq. |

Add the missing CVSS 3.1 score to GHSA-h27x-g6w4-24gq (CVE-2026-27979), the Next.js unbounded resume buffering DoS vulnerability.
What was missing
The advisory currently includes only a CVSS 4.0 vector. NIST independently assessed a CVSS 3.1 score as part of their initial analysis:
Source: NVD - CVE-2026-27979
Why it matters
The CVSS 4.0 vector rates Availability impact as Low (
VA:L), while the NIST CVSS 3.1 assessment rates Availability as High (A:H). For a denial-of-service vulnerability that causes unbounded memory consumption, High availability impact is the more representative assessment. Including the CVSS 3.1 vector gives downstream consumers a more complete picture of the risk.Many vulnerability scanners, SCA tools, and compliance frameworks still evaluate severity using CVSS 3.1. Without the 3.1 vector in the advisory data, these tools either skip the advisory or produce inaccurate severity mappings.
