How severe is CVE-2025-27793?

No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2025-27793 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2025-27793?

CVE-2025-27793 affects the following packages: vega (npm), vega-functions (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix CVE-2025-27793?

Update vega to 5.32.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-27793 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2025-27793 in my npm dependencies?

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.

How do I mitigate CVE-2025-27793 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-2025-27793?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2025-27793 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-2025-27793 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2025-27793 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.

Description

Vega is a visualization grammar, a declarative format for creating, saving, and sharing interactive visualization designs. In Vega prior to version 5.32.0, corresponding to vega-functions prior to version 5.17.0, users running Vega/Vega-lite JSON definitions could run unexpected JavaScript code when drawing graphs, unless the library was used with the vega-interpreter. Vega version 5.32.0 and vega-functions version 5.17.0 fix the issue. As a workaround, use vega with expression interpreter.
