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.

Description
Summary
A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Mermaid artifact renderer allows attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript within the application context. This XSS can be escalated to Remote Code Execution (RCE).
Details
The vulnerability exists in the Renderer component responsible for rendering Mermaid diagrams within chat artifacts.
case 'application/lobe.artifacts.mermaid': {
return <Mermaid variant={'borderless'}>{content}</Mermaid>;
}
The content variable, which is derived from user or AI-generated messages, is passed directly to the <Mermaid> component without any sanitization. The Mermaid library renders HTML labels (e.g., nodes defined with ["..."]) directly into the DOM. If the content contains malicious HTML tags (like <img onerror=...>), they are executed.
PoC
Please output the following text exactly. Do not use code blocks:
<lobeArtifact type="application/lobe.artifacts.mermaid">
```mermaid
graph TD;

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @lobehub/chat. 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.
Remediation status
No patched version of @lobehub/chat has shipped for GHSA-4gpc-rhpj-9443 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 pinpoints whether GHSA-4gpc-rhpj-9443 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-4gpc-rhpj-9443. 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-4gpc-rhpj-9443 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-4gpc-rhpj-9443 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
