CVE-2023-30857
LOW@aedart/support possibly vulnerable to prototype pollution in metadata record, when using meta decorator
EPSS Exploitation Probability
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.

@aedart/supportnpmDescription
@aedart/support is the support package for Ion, a monorepo for JavaScript/TypeScript packages. Prior to version 0.6.1, there is a possible prototype pollution issue for the MetadataRecord, when merged with a base class' metadata object, in meta decorator from the @aedart/support package. The likelihood of exploitation is questionable, given that a class's metadata can only be set or altered when the class is decorated via meta(). Furthermore, object(s) of sensitive nature would have to be stored as metadata, before this can lead to a security impact. The issue has been patched in version 0.6.1.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @aedart/support. 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 @aedart/support to 0.6.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2023-30857 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-2023-30857 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-2023-30857. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
