TL;DR

Pages Router deployments with i18n can expose locale-less data routes that skip middleware checks. An attacker can request internal JSON data endpoints for protected pages without the expected authorization gate. This enables alternate-path access to protected page data. The fix updates matcher behavior so i18n data routes receive equivalent middleware matching.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
