CVE-2015-5654
MEDIUMCVE-2015-5654 is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.4) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in dojo. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2015-5654 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Cross-Site Scripting in dojo
Real-World Exposure
dojoReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects npm packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Versions of dojo prior to 1.2.0 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The package fails to sanitize HTML code in user-controlled input, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser.
Recommendation
Upgrade to version 1.2.0 or later.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 📦npm | dojo | all versions | 1.9.1 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for dojo. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update dojo to 1.9.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2015-5654 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 pinpoints whether CVE-2015-5654 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2015-5654. 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-2015-5654 in your dependencies?
O3 detects CVE-2015-5654 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
