Fake Next.js job interview tests backdoor developer’s devices
A coordinated campaign targeting software developers with job-themed lures is using malicious repositories posing as legitimate Next.js projects and technical assessment materials, including recruiting coding tests. The attacker’s goal is to achieve remote code execution (RCE) on developer machines, exfiltrate sensitive data, and introduce additional payloads on compromised systems. Multiple execution triggers Next.js is a popular […]
RondoDox botnet exploits React2Shell flaw to breach Next.js servers
The RondoDox botnet has been observed exploiting the critical React2Shell flaw (CVE-2025-55182) to infect vulnerable Next.js servers with malware and cryptominers. First documented by Fortinet in July 2025, RondoDox is a large-scale botnet that targets multiple n-day flaws in global attacks. In November, VulnCheck spotted new RondoDox variants that featured exploits for CVE-2025-24893, a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in […]
Google links more Chinese hacking groups to React2Shell attacks
Over the weekend, Google’s threat intelligence team linked five more Chinese hacking groups to attacks exploiting the maximum-severity “React2Shell” remote code execution vulnerability. Tracked as CVE-2025-55182, this actively exploited flaw affects the React open-source JavaScript library and allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code in React and Next.js applications with a single HTTP request. While multiple […]
React2Shell flaw exploited to breach 30 orgs, 77k IP addresses vulnerable
Over 77,000 Internet-exposed IP addresses are vulnerable to the critical React2Shell remote code execution flaw (CVE-2025-55182), with researchers now confirming that attackers have already compromised over 30 organizations across multiple sectors. React2Shell is an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability that can be exploited via a single HTTP request and affects all frameworks that implement React […]
Critical React2Shell flaw actively exploited in China-linked attacks
Multiple China-linked threat actors began exploiting the React2Shell vulnerability (CVE-2025-55182) affecting React and Next.js just hours after the max-severity issue was disclosed. React2Shell is an insecure deserialization vulnerability in the React Server Components (RSC) ‘Flight’ protocol. Exploiting it does not require authentication and allows remote execution of JavaScript code in the server’s context. For the Next.js framework, […]
Critical React, Next.js flaw lets hackers execute code on servers
A maximum severity vulnerability, dubbed ‘React2Shell’, in the React Server Components (RSC) ‘Flight’ protocol allows remote code execution without authentication in React and Next.js applications. The security issue stems from insecure deserialization. It received a severity score of 10/10 and has been assigned the identifiers CVE-2025-55182 for React and CVE-2025-66478 (CVE rejected in the National Vulnerability Database) for Next.js. Security researcher Lachlan Davidson discovered […]
Critical flaw in Next.js lets hackers bypass authorization
A critical severity vulnerability has been discovered in the Next.js open-source web development framework, potentially allowing attackers to bypass authorization checks. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2025-29927, enables attackers to send requests that reach destination paths without going through critical security checks. Next.js is a popular React framework with more than 9 million weekly downloads on npm. It is used for […]
