CVE-2025-55184 – React Server Components DoS Scanner

A safe, security validation script designed to detect CVE-2025-55184, a denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability affecting React Server Components (RSC).

This tool is intended strictly for internal security testing and controlled assessments. It must only be used against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test.

Overview

CVE-2025-55184 - Denial of Service (DoS) Severity: HIGH | CVSS Score: 7.5

CVE-2025-55184 impacts the deserialization logic used by React Server Components. A specially crafted RSC payload can cause the server to enter an infinite resolution loop, leading to denial of service.

This condition may result in:

• Excessive CPU consumption
• Application hang or crash
• Service unavailability for legitimate users

This scanner sends a non-destructive validation payload to the standard RSC endpoint and evaluates server behaviour (response time and timeout conditions) to determine whether the target appears vulnerable.

Affected Packages

According to the official React security advisory, the vulnerability affects the following packages:

• react-server-dom-webpack
• react-server-dom-parcel
• react-server-dom-turbopack

Affected Versions

The following versions are vulnerable:

• 19.0.0 – 19.0.2
• 19.1.0 – 19.1.2
• 19.2.0 – 19.2.2

These vulnerabilities are present in the same release lines as CVE-2025-55182. Earlier patch attempts were incomplete and did not fully remediate all DoS vectors.

Fixed Versions (Verified)

React has officially backported fixes to the following versions:

• 19.0.3
• 19.1.4
• 19.2.3

Immediate upgrade is required if you are running any affected version listed above.

What This Tool Does

• Sends a controlled React Server Components deserialization payload
• Targets the default /_rsc endpoint
• Measures response latency and timeout behavior
• Identifies potential infinite deserialization loop conditions
• Reports a clear Vulnerable or Not Vulnerable result

The tool does not exploit, persist, modify, or extract data from the target system.

http://example.com -> Not Vulnerable or Vulnerable

Interpreting Results

• Not Vulnerable
  Target responds normally within expected time limits.

• Vulnerable
  Target response is significantly delayed or times out, indicating a potential infinite deserialization loop.
