CVE-2025-70849
MEDIUMCVE-2025-70849 is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.1) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2025-70849 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Podinfo affected by Arbitrary File Upload that leads to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Blast Radius
github.com/stefanprodan/podinfoReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Arbitrary File Upload in podinfo thru 6.9.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files via crafted POST request to the /store endpoint. The application renders uploaded content without a restrictive Content-Security-Policy (CSP) or adequate Content-Type validation, leading to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🐹Go | github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo | all versions | 1.8.1-0.20260314125853-83deb7fcb742 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo. 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 github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo to 1.8.1-0.20260314125853-83deb7fcb742 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-70849 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-2025-70849 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-2025-70849. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
