How severe is CVE-2022-46147?

CVE-2022-46147 has a CVSS score of 8.4/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2022-46147?

CVE-2022-46147 affects the following packages: xblock-drag-and-drop-v2 (PyPI). Ecosystems affected: PyPI.

How do I fix CVE-2022-46147?

Update xblock-drag-and-drop-v2 to 3.0.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-46147 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2022-46147 in my PyPI dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for xblock-drag-and-drop-v2. 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.

How do I mitigate CVE-2022-46147 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against CVE-2022-46147?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2022-46147 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2022-46147 actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 1 known exploit references for CVE-2022-46147, including 1 in-the-wild exploitation observed on GitHub and other sources. Treat this as actively exploitable and prioritize patching immediately. All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2022-46147?

CVE-2022-46147 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.8%, placing it in the 52th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

When was CVE-2022-46147 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2022-46147 was published on November 28, 2022 and was last updated on April 10, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Drag and Drop XBlock v2 implements a drag-and-drop style problem, where a learner has to drag items to zones on a target image. Versions prior to 3.0.0 are vulnerable to cross-site scripting in multiple XBlock Fields. Any platform that has deployed the XBlock may be impacted. Version 3.0.0 contains a patch for this issue. There are no known workarounds.
