How severe is GHSA-22h7-7wwg-qmgg?

No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-22h7-7wwg-qmgg yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-22h7-7wwg-qmgg?

GHSA-22h7-7wwg-qmgg affects the following packages: @hapi/hoek (npm), @hapi/hoek (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix GHSA-22h7-7wwg-qmgg?

Update @hapi/hoek to 8.5.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-22h7-7wwg-qmgg is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-22h7-7wwg-qmgg in my npm dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @hapi/hoek, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-22h7-7wwg-qmgg if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Cap what an attacker can consume: apply request size, rate and timeout limits in front of the affected component, and run it with memory and CPU limits so exhaustion degrades one worker rather than the whole service.

Is GHSA-22h7-7wwg-qmgg actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-22h7-7wwg-qmgg 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

Versions of @hapi/hoek prior to 8.5.1 and 9.0.3 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution. The clone function fails to prevent the modification of the Object prototype when passed specially-crafted input. Attackers may use this to change existing properties that exist in all objects, which may lead to Denial of Service or Remote Code Execution in specific circumstances.
This issue does not affect hapi applications since the framework protects against such malicious inputs. Applications that use @hapi/hoek outside of the hapi ecosystem may be vulnerable.

Recommendation

Update to version 8.5.1, 9.0.3 or later.
