How do I fix CVE-2013-3300?

No patched version of net.liftweb:lift-webkit has shipped for CVE-2013-3300 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.

How do I detect CVE-2013-3300 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for net.liftweb:lift-webkit, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2013-3300 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2013-3300?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2013-3300 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is CVE-2013-3300 actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 2 known exploit references for CVE-2013-3300, including 2 in-the-wild exploitations observed on GitHub and other sources. Treat this as actively exploitable and prioritize patching immediately. All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2013-3300?

CVE-2013-3300 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 1.5%, placing it in the 72th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2013-3300?

CVE-2013-3300 is classified as Buffer Overflow (CWE-119). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was CVE-2013-3300 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2013-3300 was published on May 17, 2022 and was last updated on September 30, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.
