Security researchers have found and disclosed two additional vulnerabilities in React Server Components while attempting to exploit the patches in last week’s critical vulnerability. These new vulnerabilities do not allow for Remote Code Execution. The patch for React2Shell remains effective at mitigating the Remote Code Execution exploit.
The new vulnerabilities are disclosed as:
Denial of Service - High Severity : CVE-2025-55184 (CVSS 7.5)
: CVE-2025-55184 (CVSS 7.5) Source Code Exposure - Medium Severity: CVE-2025-55183 (CVSS 5.3)
These issues are present in the patches published last week.
We recommend upgrading immediately due to the severity of the newly disclosed vulnerabilities.
Note It’s common for critical CVEs to uncover follow‑up vulnerabilities. When a critical vulnerability is disclosed, researchers scrutinize adjacent code paths looking for variant exploit techniques to test whether the initial mitigation can be bypassed. This pattern shows up across the industry, not just in JavaScript. For example, after Log4Shell, additional CVEs (1, 2) were reported as the community probed the original fix. Additional disclosures can be frustrating, but they are generally a sign of a healthy response cycle.
Further details of these vulnerabilities will be provided after the rollout of the fixes are complete.
