Q: Can O3 Security detect CVE-2022-24785 in my codebase?

Yes. O3 Security's Impact-Aware SCA scanner identifies CVE-2022-24785 across all affected ecosystems (multiple ecosystems), correlates it against your dependency graph, and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable in your application — eliminating false positives. You can scan your stack for CVE-2022-24785 directly from the O3 platform.

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description

Moment.js is a JavaScript date library for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. A path traversal vulnerability impacts npm (server) users of Moment.js between versions 1.0.1 and 2.29.1, especially if a user-provided locale string is directly used to switch moment locale. This problem is patched in 2.29.2, and the patch can be applied to all affected versions. As a workaround, sanitize the user-provided locale name before passing it to Moment.js.
