• Monitor for unauthorized access attempts to protected routes

Technical summary

The Astro Vercel adapter in packages/integrations/vercel/src/serverless/entrypoint.ts accepts x_astro_path for the public /_isr function based only on the x-vercel-isr header, allowing unauthenticated GET requests to render routes protected only by Vercel edge path rules or split edge middleware. This issue allows defenders to prioritize verifying and applying the patch to prevent unauthorized access to protected routes. The fix is included in version 11.0.3 of the Astro framework.
