Yesterday, after various bogus AI slopped "PoC"s, eventually a functional PoC for the React RCE emerged:
https://github.com/msanft/CVE-2025-55182
We now have a PoC from the reporter of the vulnerability as well:
https://github.com/lachlan2k/React2Shell-CVE-2025-55182-original-poc
I had the [mis?]fortune of being awake just as attackers decided to slam the public internet with React2Shell exploits. GreyNoise had a tag up for it yesterday afternoon.

Critical RSC Bugs in React and Next.js Enable Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution
Source: https://thehackernews.com/2025/12/critical-rsc-bugs-in-react-and-nextjs.html
A maximum-severity flaw has been disclosed in React Server Components (RSC) that can allow remote code execution.
The vulnerability, CVE-2025-55182 — codenamed React2shell — carries a CVSS score of 10.0. According to the React team, it enables unauthenticated remote code execution by exploiting a flaw in how React decodes payloads sent to React Server Function endpoints.
The React team warns that applications may be vulnerable even if they do not implement Server Function endpoints, as long as they support React Server Components.
Cloud security firm Wiz reports that the issue stems from logical deserialization errors. RSC payloads are processed in an unsafe manner, allowing an attacker to send a specially crafted HTTP request to any Server Function endpoint. When the payload is deserialized, React may execute arbitrary JavaScript code on the server without authentication.
📊 39% of cloud environments are vulnerable to React2Shell.
New data from Wiz indicates that nearly 40% of cloud environments contain instances vulnerable to CVE-2025-55182. Even more concerning? 44% of all cloud environments have publicly exposed Next.js instances.
The "secure by design" assumption is working against defenders right now.

React2Shell = Log4shell: 87.000 server in Italia a rischio compromissione
Nel 2025, le comunità IT e della sicurezza sono in fermento per un solo nome: “React2Shell“. Con la divulgazione di una nuova vulnerabilità, CVE-2025-55182, classificata CVSS 10.0, sviluppatori ed esperti di sicurezza di tutto il mondo ne mettono in guardia dalla gravità, utilizzando persino il termine “2025 Log4Shell”.
I server impattati da questa minaccia sono circa 8.777.000 nel mondo, mentre i server italiani sono circa 87.000. Questo fa comprendere, che con una severity da score 10, potrebbe essere una delle minacce più importante di tutto l’anno, che sta diventando “attiva”.
Il nuovo Log4Shell del 2025
Infatti, è stato confermato che la comunità hacker cinese che sono stati già avviati test di attacco su larga scala sfruttando l’exploit per la vulnerabilità in questione sui server esposti. il CVE-2025-55182 non è semplicemente un bug software. È una falla strutturale nel protocollo di serializzazione RSC, che consente lo sfruttamento con la sola configurazione predefinita, senza errori da parte degli sviluppatori. L’autenticazione non è nemmeno richiesta.
Ecco perché gli esperti di sicurezza di tutto il mondo lo chiamano “la versione 2025 di Log4Shell”. Lo strumento di scansione delle vulnerabilità React2Shell Checker sta analizzando più percorsi e alcuni endpoint sono contrassegnati come Sicuri o Vulnerabili. L’immagine sopra mostra che diversi ricercatori stanno già eseguendo scansioni automatiche sui server basati su RSC.
Il problema è che questi strumenti diventano armi che gli aggressori possono sfruttare. Gli hacker cinesi stanno conducendo con successo test RCE. Secondo i dati raccolti dalla comunità di hacker cinese, gli aggressori hanno già iniettato React2Shell PoC nei servizi basati su Next.js, raccolto i risultati con il servizio DNSLog e verificato il vettore di attacco.
L’Exploit PoC in uso nelle scansioni
Viene inviato un payload manipolato con Burp Repeater e il server crea un record DNS esterno. Ciò indica che l’attacco viene verificato in tempo reale. Gli aggressori hanno già completato i seguenti passaggi:
- Carica il payload sul server di destinazione
- Attiva la vulnerabilità di serializzazione RSC
- Verifica il successo dell’esecuzione del comando con DNSLog esterno
- Verifica la possibilità di eseguire child_process sul lato server.
Non si tratta più di una “vulnerabilità teorica”, bensì della prova che è già stato sviluppato un vettore di attacco valido.
Gli hacker cinesi stanno in questi istanti eseguendo con successo le RCE.
l PoC sono stati pubblicati su GitHub e alcuni ricercatori lo hanno eseguito, confermando che la Calcolatrice di Windows (Calc.exe) è stata eseguita in remoto.
L’invio del payload tramite BurpSuite Repeater ha comportato l’esecuzione immediata di Calc.exe sul server. Ciò significa che è possibile l’esecuzione completa del codice remoto.
L’esecuzione remota della calcolatrice è un metodo di dimostrazione comune nella comunità di ricerca sulla sicurezza di un “RCE” riuscito, ovvero quando un aggressore ha preso il controllo di un server.
Gli 87.000 server riportati nella print screen di FOFA, dimostrano che un numero significativo di servizi web di aziende italiane che operano con funzioni RSC basate su React/Next.js attivate sono a rischio. Il problema è che la maggior parte di essi
- utilizza il rendering del server
- mantiene le impostazioni predefinite di RSC
- gestisce percorsi API esposti, quindi possono essere bersaglio di attacchi su larga scala.
In particolare, dato che i risultati della ricerca FOFA sono una fonte comune di informazioni utilizzata anche dai gruppi di hacker per selezionare gli obiettivi degli attacchi, è altamente probabile che questi server siano sotto scansioni attive.
Perché React2Shell è pericoloso?
Gli esperti definiscono questa vulnerabilità “senza precedenti” per i seguenti motivi:
- RCE non autenticato (esecuzione di codice remoto non autenticato): l’aggressore non ha bisogno di effettuare l’accesso.
- Possibilità Zero-Click: non è richiesta alcuna azione da parte dell’utente.
- PoC immediatamente sfruttabile: già pubblicato in gran numero su GitHub e X.
- Centinaia di migliaia di servizi in tutto il mondo si basano su React 19/Next.js: rischio di proliferazione su larga scala a livello della supply chain.
- L’impostazione predefinita stessa è vulnerabile: è difficile per gli sviluppatori difenderla.
Questa combinazione è molto simile all’incidente Log4Shell del 2021.
Tuttavia, a differenza di Log4Shell, che era limitato a Java Log4j, React2Shell è più serio in quanto prende di mira i framework utilizzati dall’intero ecosistema globale dei servizi web.
I segnali di un attacco effettivo quali sono
Gli Aggressori stanno già eseguendo la seguente routine di attacco.
- Raccolta di risorse di esposizione React/Next.js per paese da FOFA
- Esecuzione dello script di automazione PoC di React2Shell
- Verifica se il comando è stato eseguito utilizzando DNSLog
- Sostituisci il payload dopo aver identificato i server vulnerabili
- Controllo del sistema tramite RCE finale
Questa fase non è una pre-scansione, ma piuttosto la fase immediatamente precedente all’attacco. Dato il numero particolarmente elevato di server in Italia, la probabilità di attacchi RCE su larga scala contro istituzioni e aziende nazionali è molto alta. Strumenti di valutazione delle vulnerabilità e altri strumenti vengono caricati sulla comunità della sicurezza.
Mitigazione del bug di sicurezza
Gli esperti raccomandano misure di emergenza quali l’applicazione immediata di patch, la scansione delle vulnerabilità, l’analisi dei log e l’aggiornamento delle policy di blocco WAF.
Il team di React ha annunciato il 3 di aver rilasciato urgentemente una patch per risolvere il problema CVE-2025-55182, correggendo un difetto strutturale nel protocollo di serializzazione RSC. Tuttavia, a causa della natura strutturale di React, che non si aggiorna automaticamente, le vulnerabilità persistono a meno che aziende e organizzazioni di sviluppo non aggiornino e ricompilino manualmente le versioni.
In particolare, i servizi basati su Next.js richiedono un processo di ricostruzione e distribuzione dopo l’applicazione della patch di React, il che significa che probabilmente ci sarà un ritardo significativo prima che la patch di sicurezza effettiva venga implementata nell’ambiente del servizio. Gli esperti avvertono che “la patch è stata rilasciata, ma la maggior parte dei server è ancora a rischio”.
Molte applicazioni Next.js funzionano con RSC abilitato di default, spesso senza che nemmeno i team di sviluppo interni ne siano a conoscenza. Ciò richiede che le aziende ispezionino attentamente le proprie basi di codice per verificare l’utilizzo di componenti server e Server Actions. Con tentativi di scansione su larga scala già confermati in diversi paesi, tra cui la Corea, il rafforzamento delle policy di blocco è essenziale.
Inoltre, con la diffusione capillare di scanner automatici React2Shell e codici PoC in tutto il mondo, gli aggressori stanno eseguendo scansioni di massa dei server esposti anche in questo preciso momento. Di conseguenza, gli esperti di sicurezza hanno sottolineato che le aziende devono scansionare immediatamente i propri domini, sottodomini e istanze cloud utilizzando strumenti esterni di valutazione della superficie di attacco.
Hanno inoltre sottolineato che se nei log interni vengono rilevate tracce di chiamate DNSLog, un aumento di richieste POST multipart insolite o payload di grandi dimensioni inviati agli endpoint RSC, è molto probabile che si sia già verificato un tentativo di attacco o che sia stata raggiunta una compromissione parziale, il che richiede una risposta rapida.

This Week in Security: React, JSON Formatting, and the Return of Shai Hulud
After a week away recovering from too much turkey and sweet potato casserole, we’re back for more security news! And if you need something to shake you out of that turkey-induced coma, React Server has a single request Remote Code Execution flaw in versions 19.0.1, 19.1.2, and 19.2.1.
The issue is insecure deserialization in the Flight protocol, as implemented right in React Server, and notably also used in Next.js. Those two organizations have both issued Security Advisories for CVSS 10.0 CVEs.
There are reports of a public Proof of Concept (PoC), but the repository that has been linked explicitly calls out that it is not a true PoC, but merely research into how the vulnerability might work. As far as I can tell, there is not yet a public PoC, but reputable researchers have been able to reverse engineer the problem. This implies that mass exploitation attempts are not far off, if they haven’t already started.
Legal AI Breaks Attorney-Client Privilege
We often cover security flaws that are discovered by merely poking around the source of a web interface. [Alex Schapiro] went above and beyond the call of duty, manually looking through minified JS, to discover a major data leak in the Filevine legal AI. And the best part, the problem isn’t even in the AI agent this time.
The story starts with subdomain enumeration — the process of searching DNS records, Google results, and other sources for valid subdomains. That resulted in a valid subdomain and a not-quite-valid web endpoint. This is where [Alex] started digging though Javascript, and found an Amazon AWS endpoint, and a reference to BOX_SERVICE. Making requests against the listed endpoint resulted in both boxFolders and a boxToken in the response. What are those, and what is Box?
Box is a file sharing system, similar to a Google Drive or even Microsoft Sharepoint. And that boxToken was a valid admin-level token for a real law firm, containing plenty of confidential records. It was at this point that [Alex] stopped interacting with the Filevine endpoints, and contacted their security team. There was a reasonably quick turnaround, and when [Alex] re-tested the flaw a month later, it had been fixed.
JSON Formatting As A Service
The web is full of useful tools, and I’m sure we all use them from time to time. Or maybe I’m the only lazy one that types a math problem into Google instead of opening a dedicated calculator program. I’m also guilty of pasting base64 data into a conversion web site instead of just piping it through base64 and xxd in the terminal. Watchtowr researchers are apparently familiar with such laziness efficiency, in the form of JSONformatter and CodeBeautify. Those two tools have an interesting feature: an online save function.
You may see where this is going. Many of us use Github Gists, which supports secret gists protected by long, random URLs. JSONformatter and CodeBeautify don’t. Those URLs are short enough to enumerate — not to mention there is a Recent Links page on both sites. Between the two sites, there are over 80,000 saved JSON snippets. What could possibly go wrong? Not all of that JSON was intended to be public. It’s not hard to predict that JSON containing secrets were leaked through these sites.
And then on to the big question: Is anybody watching? Watchtowr researchers beautified a JSON containing a Canarytoken in the form of AWS credentials. The JSON was saved with the 24 hour timeout, and 48 hours later, the Canarytoken was triggered. That means that someone is watching and collecting those JSON snippets, and looking for secrets. The moral? Don’t upload your passwords to public sites.
Shai Hulud Rises Again
NPM continues to be a bit of a security train wreck, with the Shai Hulud worm making another appearance, with some upgraded smarts. This time around, the automated worm managed to infect 754 packages. It comes with a new trick: pushing the pilfered secrets directly to GitHub repositories, to overcome the rate limiting that effected this worm the first time around. There were over 33,000 unique credentials captured in this wave. When researchers at GitGuardian tested that list a couple days later, about 10% were still valid.
This wave was launched by a PostHog credential that allowed a malicious update to the PostHog NPM package. The nature of Node.js means that this worm was able to very quickly spread through packages where maintainers were using that package. Version 2.0 of Shai Hulud also includes another nasty surprise, in the form of a remote control mechanism stealthily installed on compromised machines. It implies that this is not the last time we’ll see Shai Hulud causing problems.
Bits and Bytes
[Vortex] at ByteRay took a look at an industrial cellular router, and found a couple major issues. This ALLNET router has an RCE, due to CGI handling of unauthenticated HTTP requests. It’s literally just /cgi-bin/popen.cgi?command=whoami to run code as root. That’s not the only issue here, as there’s also a hardcoded username and password. [Vortex] was able to derive that backdoor account information and use hashcat to crack the password. I was unable to confirm whether patched firmware is available.
Google is tired of their users getting scammed by spam phone calls and texts. Their latest salvo in trying to defeat such scams is in-call scam protection. This essentially detects a banking app that is opened as a result of a phone call. When this scenario is detected, a warning dialogue is presented, that suggests the user hangs up the call, and forces a 30 second waiting period. While this may sound terrible for sophisticated users, it is likely to help prevent fraud against our collective parents and grandparents.
What seemed to be just an illegal gambling ring of web sites, now seems to be the front for an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT). That term, btw, usually refers to a government-sponsored hacking effort. In this case, instead of a gambling fraud targeting Indonesians, it appears to be targeting Western infrastructure. One of the strongest arguments for this claim is the fact that this network has been operating for over 14 years, and includes a mind-boggling 328,000 domains. Quite the odd one.

A critical XXE bug (CVE-2025-66516) with a CVSS score of 10.0 has been discovered in Apache Tika, affecting multiple modules including tika-core, tika-pdf-module, and tika-parsers. This vulnerability allows attackers to perform XML External Entity injection via a crafted XFA file within a PDF, potentially leading to file system access and remote code execution, and requires urgent patching.
https://thehackernews.com/2025/12/critical-xxe-bug-cve-2025-66516-cvss.html
⚠️ CRITICAL XXE bug (CVE-2025-66516, CVSS 10.0) in Apache Tika (tika-core, tika-pdf-module, tika-parsers). Exploitation via crafted PDFs can lead to file disclosure & RCE. Upgrade to 3.2.2+ ASAP! https://radar.offseq.com/threat/critical-xxe-bug-cve-2025-66516-cvss-100-hits-apac-d08561e7 #OffSeq #ApacheTika #XXE #Security
Vulnerabilità critica in Apache Tika con Severity 10! rischio di attacco XXE
E’ stata pubblicata una vulnerabilità critica in Apache Tika, che potrebbe consentire un attacco di iniezione di entità esterne XML, noto come XXE. La falla di sicurezza, catalogata come CVE-2025-66516, presenta un punteggio pari a 10,0 secondo la scala CVSS, indice di massima gravità.
Si ritiene che CVE-2025-66516 sia identica al CVE-2025-54988 (punteggio CVSS: 8,4), un’altra falla XXE nel framework di rilevamento e analisi dei contenuti, corretta dai responsabili del progetto nell’agosto 2025. Il nuovo CVE, ha affermato il team di Apache Tika, amplia la portata dei pacchetti interessati in due modi.
La falla critica è presente nei moduli Apache Tika, precisamente in tika-core (dalla versione 1.13 alla 3.2.1), tika-pdf-module (dalle versioni 2.0.0 alla 3.2.1) e tika-parsers (dalla 1.13 alla 1.28.5), su tutte le piattaforme, permette ad un aggressore di effettuare iniezioni di entità esterne XML attraverso un file XFA contraffatto incluso in un PDF.
Riguarda i seguenti pacchetti Maven:
- org.apache.tika:tika-core >= 1.13,
- org.apache.tika:tika-parser-pdf-module >= 2.0.0,
- org.apache.tika:tika-parsers >= 1.13,
“Innanzitutto, sebbene il punto di ingresso della vulnerabilità fosse il modulo tika-parser-pdf, come riportato in CVE-2025-54988, la vulnerabilità e la sua correzione si trovavano in tika-core”, ha affermato il team. “Gli utenti che hanno aggiornato il modulo tika-parser-pdf ma non hanno aggiornato tika-core alla versione >= 3.2.2 sarebbero comunque vulnerabili”.
Alla luce della criticità della vulnerabilità, si consiglia agli utenti di applicare gli aggiornamenti il prima possibile per mitigare le potenziali minacce.
