SocialNetwork Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
How urgent is this, really
GHSA-3fm8-7gpf-p8fm plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 377,166 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.

Description
A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) was discovered in 'SocialNetwork v1.2.1'. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data (mail) passed to the 'SocialNetwork-andrea/app/template/pw_forgot.php' URL. An attacker could execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a browser in the context of the vulnerable website. A patch for the vulnerability is available at https://github.com/andreas83/SocialNetwork/commit/1b0799d08fda2f3099beaae1234b8b468deb8db1

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for movingbytes/social-network, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
No patched version of movingbytes/social-network has shipped for GHSA-3fm8-7gpf-p8fm yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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-3fm8-7gpf-p8fm can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-3fm8-7gpf-p8fm. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
