CVE-2024-37169 is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.3) Path Traversal vulnerability in @jmondi/url-to-png. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2024-37169 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
@jmondi/url-to-png arbitrary file read via Playwright's screenshot feature exploiting file wrapper
Real-World Exposure
@jmondi/url-to-pngReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects npm packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
@jmondi/url-to-png is a self-hosted URL to PNG utility. Versions prior to 2.0.3 are vulnerable to arbitrary file read if a threat actor uses the Playright's screenshot feature to exploit the file wrapper. Version 2.0.3 mitigates this issue by requiring input URLs to be of protocol http or https. No known workarounds are available aside from upgrading.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @jmondi/url-to-png. 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 @jmondi/url-to-png to 2.0.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-37169 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-2024-37169 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-2024-37169. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
