React Releases Security Fixes for React Server Components

The React team has released security updates to fix several new vulnerabilities in React Server Components (RSC). If exploited, these flaws could lead to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks or source code exposure.

The issues were discovered by the security community while analyzing earlier patches for CVE-2025-55182, a critical vulnerability with a CVSS score of 10.0 that has already been exploited in the wild.

List of Fixed Vulnerabilities

React addressed the following issues:

  • CVE-2025-55184 (CVSS 7.5)
    A pre-authentication DoS vulnerability caused by unsafe deserialization of HTTP request data. This flaw can trigger an infinite loop and freeze the server.
  • CVE-2025-67779 (CVSS 7.5)
    An incomplete fix for CVE-2025-55184 that results in the same impact.
  • CVE-2025-55183 (CVSS 5.3)
    An information disclosure bug that may expose Server Function source code through a crafted HTTP request.

Exploitation of CVE-2025-55183 requires a Server Function that exposes an argument converted into a string.

Affected React Versions

The vulnerabilities impact the following versions:

  • CVE-2025-55184 & CVE-2025-55183
    Versions 19.0.0 to 19.2.1
  • CVE-2025-67779
    Versions 19.0.2, 19.1.3, and 19.2.2

Recommended Updates

Users should update immediately to these secure versions:

  • 19.0.3
  • 19.1.4
  • 19.2.3

Updating is strongly recommended due to active exploitation of CVE-2025-55182.

The React team noted that follow-up vulnerabilities after a major patch are common across the industry. This process helps ensure stronger long-term security.

Developers are advised to update React as soon as possible to protect their applications.
