⚛️ React2Shell (CVE-2025-55182)

Advanced Exploitation Toolkit for Next.js Server Actions (CVE-2025-55182).

React2Shell is a powerful, interactive shell wrapper designed to exploit the React2Shell vulnerability. It goes beyond simple RCE by providing command history, file transfer capabilities, and automated privilege escalation strategies.

---

🚀 Features

• Single-File Executable: Consolidates exploit logic and shell interface into one script. Zero external dependencies.
• Interactive Shell: Full pseudo-terminal experience with command history.
• Auto-Root Escalation: Built-in pipe injection strategy (base64 | sudo -i) to bypass shell restrictions and escalate to root instantly.
• File Operations:
  • .download <remote> [local]: Reliable binary-safe file download using base64 encoding.
  • .save: Save command output to local evidence files.
• Base64 Evasion: Automatically encodes payloads to bypass basic WAF filters and shell quoting issues.

🛠️ Installation

git clone https://github.com/xalgord/React2Shell.git
cd React2Shell
pip install requests

💻 Usage

Basic Usage

python3 react2shell.py -u https://target-nextjs-site.com/

Advanced Usage

Run with verified root persistence strategy detection:

python3 react2shell.py -u https://target.com/

🎮 Command Interface

Once inside the shell:

Command	Description
.root	Toggle Root Mode (Wraps commands in sudo -i)
.download <file>	Download a file from the remote server
.save	Save the last command's output to a file
.exit	Exit the shell

Example Session

ubuntu@target:~$ id
uid=1000(ubuntu) gid=1000(ubuntu) groups=1000(ubuntu)...

ubuntu@target:~$ .root
[*] Root mode ENABLED

root@target:~$ id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
