Description
Ibexa Admin UI Bundle is all the necessary parts to run the Ibexa DXP Back Office interface. The Content name pattern is used to build Content names from one or more fields. An XSS vulnerability has been found in this mechanism. Content edit permission is required to exploit it. After the fix, any existing injected XSS will not run. This issue has been patched in version 4.6.14. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for ibexa/admin-ui, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update ibexa/admin-ui to 4.6.14 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-53864 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2024-53864 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2024-53864. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
