What is CVE-2025-55182?

CVE-2025-55182 refers to a serious remote code execution vulnerability found in the React Server Components developed by Meta. This vulnerability affects specific versions of React Server Components (19.0.0, 19.1.0, 19.1.1, and 19.2.0) along with associated packages such as react-server-dom-parcel, react-server-dom-turbopack, and react-server-dom-webpack. The core issue lies in the insecure handling of payloads during the deserialization process from HTTP requests directed at Server Function endpoints. This flaw poses a significant risk, as it allows an attacker to potentially execute malicious code on the server without needing prior authentication, which could severely compromise the security and integrity of applications utilizing these components.

Potential Impact of CVE-2025-55182

  1. Unauthorized Remote Code Execution: The vulnerability enables attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server hosting the affected components. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, manipulation of application logic, and control over the server environment.

  2. Compromise of Application Integrity: Successful exploitation may allow adversaries to alter the application's behavior, insert malicious code, or create backdoors for future access. This not only jeopardizes the application's integrity but can also degrade user trust and damage the organization's reputation.

  3. Wider System Vulnerabilities: Once an attacker gains a foothold through this vulnerability, they can potentially pivot to other systems within the organization's network, leading to a broader compromise. This could facilitate further malicious activities, including data breaches or launching additional attacks on other infrastructure components.

CISA has reported CVE-2025-55182

CISA provides regional cyber and physical services to support security and resilience across the United States. CISA monitor the most dangerious vulnerabilities and have identifed CVE-2025-55182 as being exploited and is known by the CISA as enabling ransomware campaigns.

The CISA's recommendation is: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
