CVE-2025-11953React Native Community CLI — development server command injection

The Metro development server opened by the React Native command line tool (CLI) listens on external interfaces and exposes an endpoint that runs programs named in the request, so anyone on the network can execute code on a developer's machine.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade the React Native Community command line tool now; bind the development server to localhost and keep developer machines off shared networks.
