Description
This rule detects suspicious child process activity from a React server application. This could be related to successful exploitation of CVE-2025-55182 or CVE-2025-66478. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to execute remote code due to insecure deserialization of React Server Components (RSC) Flight payloads, leading to unauthenticated RCE on servers running React 19.x or Next.js 14.3.0-canary+, 15.x, and 16.x with the App Router enabled
