Cisco Talos Links Large-Scale Credential Harvesting Campaign to React2Shell Exploitation
Cisco Talos has attributed a large-scale credential harvesting operation to a tracked threat cluster exploiting the React2Shell vulnerability to steal AWS secrets, SSH keys, GitHub tokens, Stripe API keys, database credentials, and shell history at scale. The campaign used automated post-exploitation tooling to sweep compromised systems for secrets across multiple credential categories simultaneously. Affected organizations should immediately patch React2Shell, rotate all exposed secrets, and review cloud and source control access logs using IOCs published by Talos.
