How severe is CVE-2024-32468?

CVE-2024-32468 has a CVSS score of 5.4/10, rated MEDIUM. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2024-32468?

CVE-2024-32468 affects the following packages: deno_doc (crates.io). Ecosystems affected: crates.io.

How do I fix CVE-2024-32468?

Update deno_doc to 0.119.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-32468 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2024-32468 in my crates.io dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for deno_doc. 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-2024-32468 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-2024-32468?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2024-32468 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-2024-32468 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2024-32468 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2024-32468?

CVE-2024-32468 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 24th 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.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2024-32468?

CVE-2024-32468 is classified as Cross-site Scripting (XSS) (CWE-79). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was CVE-2024-32468 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2024-32468 was published on November 25, 2024 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.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects crates.io packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Deno is a runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript written in rust. Several cross-site scripting vulnerabilities existed in the deno_doc crate which lead to Self-XSS with deno doc --html. 1.) XSS in generated search_index.js, deno_doc outputs a JavaScript file for searching. However, the generated file used innerHTML on unsanitzed HTML input. 2.) XSS via property, method and enum names, deno_doc did not sanitize property names, method names and enum names. The first XSS most likely didn't have an impact since deno doc --html is expected to be used locally with own packages.
