Next.js: Unbounded next/image disk cache growth can exhaust storage

Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. Starting in version 10.0.0 and prior to version 16.1.7, the default Next.js image optimization disk cache (/_next/image) did not have a configurable upper bound, allowing unbounded cache growth. An attacker could generate many unique image-optimization variants and exhaust disk space, causing denial of service. This is fixed in version 16.1.7 by adding an LRU-backed disk cache with images.maximumDiskCacheSize, including eviction of least-recently-used entries when the limit is exceeded. Setting maximumDiskCacheSize: 0 disables disk caching. If upgrading is not immediately possible, periodically clean .next/cache/images and/or reduce variant cardinality (e.g., tighten values for images.localPatterns, images.remotePatterns, and images.qualities).
