uplotnpmDescription
Versions of the package uplot before 1.6.31 are vulnerable to Prototype Pollution via the uplot.assign function due to missing check if the attribute resolves to the object prototype.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for uplot, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update uplot to 1.6.31 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-34q8-jcq6-mc37 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.
Fixing This On Your OS
If you run this on a Linux distribution, patch through your package manager against the distro's own security advisory below — it tracks the exact backported fix for your release, which can ship on a different timeline (and sometimes a different severity) than the upstream project.
Grafana is not impacted by this CVE, as the vulnerable `uplot.assign` function is not utilized in Grafana on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Only RHEL-8.4.z having the issue.
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.Source: Red Hat security advisory for GHSA-34q8-jcq6-mc37 (CC BY 4.0)
