Description
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the link-to helper in Ember.js 1.2.x before 1.2.2, 1.3.x before 1.3.2, and 1.4.x before 1.4.0-beta.6, when used in non-block form, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the title attribute.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for ember-source, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update ember-source to 1.2.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2014-0046 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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 O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2014-0046 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2014-0046. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2014-0046 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds CVE-2014-0046 across RubyGems dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
