CVE-2022-21149
MEDIUMCVE-2022-21149 is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.4) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in s-cart/core. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2022-21149 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Cross-site Scripting (XSS)
Blast Radius
s-cart/core🐘s-cart/s-cartReal-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
The package s-cart/s-cart before 6.9; the package s-cart/core before 6.9 are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) which can lead to cookie stealing of any victim that visits the affected URL so the attacker can gain unauthorized access to that user's account through the stolen cookie.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🐘Packagist | s-cart/core | all versions | 6.9 |
| 🐘Packagist | s-cart/s-cart | all versions | 6.9 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for s-cart/core. 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 s-cart/core to 6.9 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-21149 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-2022-21149 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-2022-21149. 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-2022-21149 in your dependencies?
O3 detects CVE-2022-21149 across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
