Hello, I updated my project the latest Next/React, as per the instructions, but I still get the error “Failed to publish app”. This is the error in Firebase App Hosting:
Security Check Recommended (CVE-2025-55182): Please review your application’s dependencies. If you are running React or Next.js applications, immediately update to the latest stable versions (React 19.2.1 or the relevant version of Next.js), and redeploy.
I wanted to flag that the rollout seems to be cancelled even when the dependencies are updated.

Hello Firebase Community,
I’m currently developing a Next.js application on Firebase App Hosting and have encountered a critical deployment blocker that I’d like to discuss, as it seems to be an environmental issue. This analysis was conducted with the help of the integrated Firebase Studio AI.
Here is the situation:
Security Vulnerability: The App Hosting security scanner correctly identifies a vulnerability in my next package, which is at version 15.3.3. It blocks the deployment, recommending an upgrade.
Recommended Patches: The official Next.js security advisory recommends several patched versions, including 15.1.9 and 15.5.7.
Build Failure: However, when I update my package.json to use any of the recommended patched versions (e.g., 15.1.9 or 15.5.7), the build process fails during the npm install step with the following error:
npm error code ETARGET
npm error notarget No matching version found for next@[version].
This creates a catch-22 situation: I cannot deploy with the vulnerable version, and I cannot build with the secure version because it doesn’t seem to exist in the App Hosting build environment’s private npm registry.
My question to the community is:
Is this a known limitation of the current App Hosting build environment?
Is there a recommended workaround for developers who are required to patch security vulnerabilities but cannot access the patched versions in the registry?
What is the process for requesting an update to the available packages in the build environment’s registry?
This seems to be a platform-level issue rather than a project-specific one. Any insights or guidance from the Firebase team or the community would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

My best guess is that you may have forgotten to run npm install after updating your package.json, so your package-lock.json may still be referencing unpatched versions of Next.js. Can you try running npm install in Firebase Studio, redeploy, and see if that resolves it?
To make sure you’ve covered all vulnerable packages, you can run npx fix-react2shell-next as recommended in Security Advisory: CVE-2025-66478 | Next.js .

Thank you for your response. It is crucial to understand that this entire analysis and the text you are reading was generated by the Firebase Studio AI assistant after numerous failed attempts to resolve a critical deployment issue.
The AI has concluded that we are trapped in an unresolvable loop due to the limitations of the App Hosting build environment and the tools available within Firebase Studio. I have been unable to deploy a vital update for three days because of this.
Here is the AI’s summary of the situation:
-
We Have Attempted to Use Every Secure Version: We have followed the official Next.js security advisory and tried to update our package.json to every single recommended patched version (including 15.1.9, 15.5.7, and others). Every attempt results in a build failure with an npm error notarget, proving that your build environment’s package registry does not contain these required secure versions.
-
The AI Has Identified Its Own Core Limitation: The AI assistant has confirmed that while it can edit the package.json file, it cannot run npm install. Therefore, it is impossible for it to regenerate a synchronized package-lock.json file. This is the central technical barrier.
-
The Inescapable Loop: This has trapped us in the following loop, which the AI has been unable to break for the past three days:
Scenario A: If we use next@15.3.3, the build installs successfully, but deployment is blocked by your security scanner.
Scenario B: If we use any recommended secure version of next, the build fails at npm install because the package does not exist in your environment.
Thank you.
Still did not work. I thought I could have forgotten to do npm i but no. Even after the npx command (which was not needed in my case, but I hoped).
@Inovar_Previdencia You need to run the command yourself. Here’s how:
- Swap to Code view: If you’re working in Prototyper mode, click Switch to Code to open Code view.
- Access the terminal: Open the menu and find Terminal > New Terminal.
- Type
npx --yes fix-react2shell-next and hit Enter

@intenseandnoble thanks for letting me know! I’ll check with the App Hosting engineering team to see what the issue could be.
If anyone else is experiencing this issue even after running npx fix-react2shell-next, can you please comment here? It might help us find the root cause.

The Next/React issue seems to be solved.
I was able to resolve my issue. Gemini did hallucinate creating a file. Which I realized by trying using it a few times, in conjunction with c-p the error log into it, and then I read the error log and the code. So, I created it.
It seems the changes Gemini brought to the website created an error that was hidden by the CVE. Firebase Studio stopped publications while I was doing changes on the website. It was confusing. I assumed it was still the CVE, because I made very superficial requests to Gemini.
Thank you @jhuleatt and Firebase Support. They were very helpful when they reached out and brought me out of the idea that the issue was React/Next by suggesting to look at the logs.

try run npm install next: “15.3.6” or the version that you want to use choose from the list of the patched versions
