A critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in React Server Components, impacting frameworks such as Next.js, was identified in the project profile-sync. 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 - Project Update

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

### Vulnerability Assessment
**Project Status: AFFECTED**

The project uses:
- ✅ Next.js 16.0.1 (vulnerable version)
- ❌ No React Flight packages (react-server-dom-webpack, react-server-dom-parcel, react-server-dom-turbopack)

Note: The project uses react@19.2.0 and react-dom@19.2.0, which are not directly vulnerable. However, they are kept as-is since Next.js provides the correct patched React dependency versions automatically.

### Changes Made

#### Modified Files
1. **package.json**
   - Upgraded `next`: 16.0.1 → 16.0.7 (patched version for 16.x series)
   - Updated `eslint-config-next`: 16.0.1 → 16.0.7 (to match Next.js version)

#### Lockfile Updates
- **pnpm-lock.yaml**: Updated to reflect Next.js 16.0.7 and dependencies
- **package-lock.json**: Also present in the repo (though pnpm is primary)

### Verification

**Dependency Resolution**
✓ Ran `pnpm install` successfully
✓ Verified with `pnpm list next eslint-config-next`:
  - next 16.0.7
  - eslint-config-next 16.0.7

**Code Quality**
✓ ESLint check passed (2 pre-existing warnings unrelated to upgrade)
✓ TypeScript compilation succeeded during build process
✓ No dependency conflicts or resolution errors

**Build Verification**
The build encountered an expected application-level error requiring Clerk credentials (publishableKey), which is a pre-existing configuration requirement and not related to the Next.js upgrade. The dependency resolution and compilation steps completed successfully.

### Implementation Details

Following the advisory guidelines:
- For Next.js 16.x projects, upgraded to the patched version 16.0.7
- Did not manually update react/react-dom as Next.js supplies correct versions automatically
- No React Flight packages were found, so no additional React Flight-specific patching was needed
- Lockfiles were updated to ensure patched versions resolve correctly

### Notes
- This is not a monorepo; only one package.json file exists
- The project uses pnpm as the primary package manager
- All changes preserve existing code structure and project configuration
