I recently created a v0 chat through the API (version 2). It successfully one-shotted a website based on my brief, but when I attempted to deploy, the deployment failed with the error message "Vulnerable version of Next.js detected, please update immediately."
The Next version that v0 used was 15.2.4. Model was v0-Max, chat ID cvXx3IuacRu.
I can easily fix this myself, but just reporting in case it's affecting others as well.
Hi jpryor,
That deployment failure makes sense for next@15.2.4. Vercel blocks new deployments when it detects a Next.js version affected by certain security advisories, and the May 2026 Next.js security release lists 15.x versions up to 15.5.17 as affected, with 15.5.18 as the patched 15.x target.
For a generated v0 app, I’d treat this as a dependency update rather than a deployment issue. In the generated project, update package.json and the lockfile, then redeploy:
pnpm add next@15.5.18pnpm install
If the app is already compatible with Next 16, next@16.2.6 or newer is another option, but I’d start with the patched 15.x line if you want the smallest change from 15.2.4.
For future API-generated chats, a useful follow-up prompt would be:
Update the project to a patched Next.js version that Vercel can deploy. Keep the existing app behavior the same, update package.json and the lockfile, then fix any build errors caused by the dependency update.
