North Korean threat actors were reported exploiting the React2Shell vulnerability (CVE-2025-55182) to deploy a new remote access Trojan, EtherRAT. Researchers at Sysdig and Palo Alto Networks linked EtherRAT activity to North Korean activity known as "Contagious Interview." EtherRAT uses the Ethereum blockchain and smart contracts for command-and-control server resolution. The provided content does not identify a more specific cluster or subgroup beyond this linkage.
