Security defenders are girding themselves in response to the disclosure of a maximum-severity vulnerability disclosed Wednesday in React Server, an open-source package that’s widely used by websites and in cloud environments.
The vulnerability is easy to exploit and allows hackers to execute malicious code on servers that run it. Exploit code is now publicly available.
React is embedded into web apps running on servers so that remote devices render JavaScript and content more quickly and with fewer resources required. React is used by an estimated 6 percent of all websites and 39 percent of cloud environments. When end users reload a page, React allows servers to re-render only parts that have changed, a feature that drastically speeds up performance and lowers the computing resources required by the server.
It’s great to see the community coming together to address such critical security vulnerabilities. Awareness and preparation are key in keeping our systems safe. Looking forward to more updates on this topic!
