CVE-2022-1514 is a critical-severity (CVSS 9) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in facturascripts/facturascripts. 1 public exploit reference exists, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2022-1514 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Stored XSS via upload plugin functionality in zip format in neorazorx/facturascripts
Real-World Exposure
facturascripts/facturascriptsReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Stored XSS via upload plugin functionality in zip format in GitHub repository neorazorx/facturascripts prior to 2022.06. Cross-site scripting attacks can have devastating consequences. Code injected into a vulnerable application can exfiltrate data or install malware on the user's machine. Attackers can masquerade as authorized users via session cookies, allowing them to perform any action allowed by the user account.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🐘Packagist | facturascripts/facturascripts | all versions | 2022.06 |

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for facturascripts/facturascripts. 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 facturascripts/facturascripts to 2022.06 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-1514 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-2022-1514 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-2022-1514. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
