Corp-Website | Love At First Breach 2026 | TryHackMe Walkthrough

Step into a real-world corporate breach investigation in this TryHackMe Corp Website: Romance & Co walkthrough. In this medium-difficulty web security challenge from TryHackMe, we analyze how attackers compromised a React-based corporate website during its busiest Valentine’s Day season.

As a security analyst, you’ll retrace the attacker’s steps, investigate incomplete logs, and uncover how the React2Shell vulnerability (CVE-2025-55182) was exploited to gain an initial foothold. This walkthrough demonstrates how a client-side flaw leads to remote code execution, a reverse shell as a low-privileged user, and ultimately root access via misconfigured sudo permissions allowing Python execution.

You’ll also see how modern tooling like Penelope, a powerful netcat replacement, can be used to manage reverse shells efficiently during exploitation. This video focuses on practical attacker methodology, privilege escalation logic, and defensive lessons learned—making it ideal for anyone preparing for web exploitation, CTFs, or real-world blue/red team scenarios.
