React2Shell Exploits Deploy EtherRAT, Linked to DPRK

🔐 Security researchers at Sysdig report new campaigns exploiting React2Shell (CVE-2025-55182), resulting in a novel implant that delivers EtherRAT and demonstrates advanced persistence and evasion. The exploit targets React v19 and many related frameworks, using a base64 shell command to fetch a downloader that installs Node.js, decrypts an obfuscated JavaScript dropper, and executes a blockchain-based C2-capable payload. Sysdig observed tooling overlaps with North Korea-associated campaigns, though firm attribution remains unconfirmed.

Cloudflare Outage Caused by Emergency React2Shell Patch

🔧 Cloudflare says an emergency patch to mitigate the critical React2Shell vulnerability (CVE-2025-55182) introduced a change to its Web Application Firewall request parsing that briefly rendered the network unavailable and caused global "500 Internal Server Error" responses. The update targeted active remote code execution attempts against React Server Components and dependent frameworks. Cloudflare emphasized the incident was not an attack and that the change was deployed to protect customers while the industry addresses the flaw.

React2Shell critical flaw exploited by China-linked groups

⚠️React2Shell is a max-severity insecure deserialization vulnerability in the React Server Components 'Flight' protocol that allows unauthenticated remote execution of JavaScript on affected servers. Within hours of disclosure, AWS telemetry observed exploitation attempts by China-linked groups including Earth Lamia and Jackpot Panda, and multiple proof-of-concept exploits have been published. React and Next.js have released patches; administrators should apply updates, scan for vulnerable deployments, and monitor for known exploitation indicators.
