CVE-2025-26619
Fix: vega/vega@8fc129aCVE-2025-26619 is a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in vega. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2025-26619 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Vega Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via event filter when not using CSP mode `expressionInterpeter`
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, a proxy for how much of the ecosystem is exposed.
veganpmvega-functionsnpmDescription
Vega is a visualization grammar, a declarative format for creating, saving, and sharing interactive visualization designs. In vega 5.30.0 and lower and in vega-functions 5.15.0 and lower , it was possible to call JavaScript functions from the Vega expression language that were not meant to be supported. The issue is patched in vega 5.31.0 and vega-functions 5.16.0. Some workarounds are available. Run vega without vega.expressionInterpreter. This mode is not the default as it is slower. Alternatively, using the interpreter described in CSP safe mode (Content Security Policy) prevents arbitrary Javascript from running, so users of this mode are not affected by this vulnerability.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for vega. 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 vega to 5.31.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-26619 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-2025-26619 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-2025-26619. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
