CVE-2026-34076 — Clerk JavaScript is the official JavaScript repository for Clerk authentication

High CVSS 7.4

Clerk JavaScript is the official JavaScript repository for Clerk authentication. In @clerk/hono from versions 0.1.0 to before 0.1.5, @clerk/express from versions 2.0.0 to before 2.0.7, @clerk/backend from versions 3.0.0 to before 3.2.3, and @clerk/fastify from versions 3.1.0 to before 3.1.5, the clerkFrontendApiProxy function in @clerk/backend is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). An unauthenticated attacker can craft a request path that causes the proxy to send the application's Clerk-Secret-Key to an attacker-controlled server. This issue has been patched in @clerk/hono version 0.1.5, @clerk/express version 2.0.7, @clerk/backend version 3.2.3, and @clerk/fastify version 3.1.5.

Matched remediation archetype

Server-side request forgery and unintended proxying

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Inventory server-side URL fetchers, webhooks, importers, previews, redirects, proxies, and protocol handlers reachable from untrusted input.
  • Map egress paths to internal services, metadata endpoints, loopback, private address space, and privileged control planes.
  • Review DNS resolution, redirect, proxy, credential-forwarding, and URL parsing behavior without requesting sensitive targets.

Remediate safely

  • Replace arbitrary destinations with named integrations or a strict allowlist of schemes, hosts, ports, and paths.
  • Resolve and validate every destination and redirect hop, then enforce egress policy independently of application checks.
  • Remove ambient credentials and sensitive headers from fetchers; apply response size, time, and content limits.
