CVE-2025-57820
CVE-2025-57820 is a CWE-1321 vulnerability in devalue. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2025-57820 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Svelte devalue vulnerable to prototype pollution
Blast Radius
Weekly download volume for affected packages — a proxy for how broadly this vulnerability is deployed.
devaluenpmDescription
Svelte devalue is a utility library. Prior to version 5.3.2, a string passed to devalue.parse could represent an object with a proto property and devalue.parse does not check that an index is numeric. This could result in assigning prototypes to objects and properties, leading to prototype pollution. This issue has been fixed in version 5.3.2

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for devalue. 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 devalue to 5.3.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-57820 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-2025-57820 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-2025-57820. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2025-57820 in your dependencies?
O3 detects CVE-2025-57820 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
