MEDIUMmisskey.js's export data contains private post data
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.

misskey-jsnpmDescription
Summary
After adding private posts (followers, direct) that you do not have permission to view to your favorites or clips, you can export them to view the contents of the private posts.
PoC
- Create an account (X) for testing and an account (Y) for private posts on the same server.
- Send appropriate content from Y using "Follow"
- Send appropriate content to any user using "Nominate" from Y
- Obtain the URLs for the two posts above using Y's account.
- Query the URLs for the two posts using X and add them to your favorites or clips.
- Export your favorites or clips using X.
- Check the exported data.
Note: Verified in v2025.11.1
Impact
This could allow an attacker to view the contents of private posts. If you have pinned private posts, this could be a real problem, as the ID of the private post can be obtained by viewing the user page on the original server.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for misskey-js. 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 misskey-js to 2025.12.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-496g-mmpw-j9x3 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 GHSA-496g-mmpw-j9x3 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 GHSA-496g-mmpw-j9x3. 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-496g-mmpw-j9x3 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-496g-mmpw-j9x3 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
