A critical remote code execution vulnerability recently discovered in widely used React and Next.js applications has become the gateway for a sophisticated cyber offensive, with attackers actively targeting Japanese organizations since December 2025. This flaw, designated CVE-2025-55182 and colloquially named React2Shell, marks a significant escalation in the threat landscape. Previously, similar exploits were often used to deploy relatively simple cryptocurrency

A subtle yet profound reorientation in state-sponsored cyber warfare is now underway, as adversaries increasingly trade complex software exploits for the quiet, persistent advantage gained by exploiting simple human error. This evolution marks a critical inflection point for security leaders, shifting the primary battleground from the software developer’s code to the network administrator’s console. The focus on misconfiguration represents a
