d3-color vulnerable to ReDoS
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, and reverse-dependency count shows how many other packages break if it stays unpatched.
d3-colornpmDescription
The d3-color module provides representations for various color spaces in the browser. Versions prior to 3.1.0 are vulnerable to a Regular expression Denial of Service. This issue has been patched in version 3.1.0. There are no known workarounds.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for d3-color, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update d3-color to 3.1.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-36jr-mh4h-2g58 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-36jr-mh4h-2g58 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-36jr-mh4h-2g58. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-36jr-mh4h-2g58 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-36jr-mh4h-2g58 across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
