A critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in React Server Components, impacting frameworks such as Next.js, was identified in the project recipe-project. The vulnerability enables unauthenticated RCE on the server via insecure deserialization in the React Flight protocol.

This issue is tracked under:

This automated pull request upgrades the affected React and Next.js packages to patched versions that fully remediate the issue.

## React Flight / Next.js RCE Advisory Fix

### Summary
Updated the repository to address the React Flight / Next.js RCE advisory by upgrading Next.js to the patched version.

### Vulnerability Assessment
The project is affected by the RCE advisory:
- ✅ Uses Next.js (`next`)
- ❌ Does NOT use React Flight packages (`react-server-dom-webpack`, `react-server-dom-parcel`, `react-server-dom-turbopack`)

Since the project uses Next.js but not React Flight packages directly, only Next.js needed to be upgraded.

### Changes Made

#### Modified Files
- `package.json`: 
  - Updated `next` from `"latest"` to `"16.0.7"` (patched version for Next.js 16.x)
  - Updated `eslint-config-next` from `"15.3.1"` to `"^16.0.0"` (to match Next.js version)

- `package-lock.json`: Updated by running `npm install` to resolve dependencies

#### Implementation Details
1. **Next.js Upgrade**: Changed from `"latest"` to `"16.0.7"`, which is the patched version for Next.js 16.x containing the RCE vulnerability fix.
2. **ESLint Config Update**: Updated `eslint-config-next` to `^16.0.0` to maintain compatibility with Next.js 16.x.
3. **React Versions**: Left unchanged at `^19.0.0` for both `react` and `react-dom`. Next.js 16.0.7 automatically pulls in patched React versions (19.1.1 in this case).
4. **No React Flight Packages**: Since the project doesn't use `react-server-dom-*` packages, no additional updates were needed.

### Verification
✅ **Build Test**: `npm run build` completed successfully with no errors
✅ **Dependency Resolution**: 
- Next.js: 16.0.7 (patched version confirmed)
- eslint-config-next: 16.0.7 (matches Next.js)
- React: 19.1.1 (compatible patched version)
✅ **No Breaking Changes**: All existing tests and build pipeline remain functional

### Why These Changes
- The project uses Next.js, which is vulnerable to the RCE advisory before version 16.0.7
- Next.js 16.x is the latest major version, so upgrading to 16.0.7 (the patched 16.x version) maintains compatibility
- The eslint-config-next version mismatch (was 15.3.1 while next was latest/16) has been fixed to ensure consistency
- React versions are not manually adjusted as Next.js manages the correct patched React versions automatically
