title: 'TanStack Start security update: CVE-2026-102989'
published: 2026-09-30
excerpt: A fix for a reflected XSS vulnerability in TanStack Start is available on npm. Upgrade and redeploy affected applications.
authors:
- Tanner Linsley
library: start
---

We've released a fix for **CVE-2026-102989**, a critical reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in TanStack Start's server-function response handling. The patched packages are available on npm now, and we recommend upgrading and redeploying affected applications immediately.

An unauthenticated attacker could craft a server-function URL that returns attacker-controlled HTML from an affected application's origin. If a user opens that link, the attacker's JavaScript could run with that user's access to the application. The fix restricts client-supplied input and validates responses at the server boundary.

## Upgrade to a patched version

Versions from `1.143.12` up to, but excluding, the corresponding patched version below are affected.

| Package | First patched version |
| ----------------------------- | --------------------- |
| `@tanstack/react-start` | `1.168.60` |
| `@tanstack/solid-start` | `1.168.57` |
| `@tanstack/vue-start` | `1.168.56` |
| `@tanstack/start-server-core` | `1.169.39` |

Update your Start dependencies and lockfile, confirm that the resolved `@tanstack/start-server-core` version is `1.169.39` or later, then rebuild and redeploy. Updating a local installation alone doesn't patch an already deployed application. Edge mitigations can help while upgrading, but they aren't a replacement for the fix.

We privately briefed hosting providers, distributors, and affected partners ahead of this release so they could prepare. Thank you to [Lovable](https://lovable.dev) for helping us discover the issue and working with us to fix it.

See the [GitHub security advisory](https://github.com/TanStack/router/security/advisories/GHSA-qx66-fv34-fjm8) for the affected ranges, severity, and mitigation details.
