GHSA-55wf-5m3q-6jjf is a high-severity (CVSS 7.6) vulnerability in ipl/web. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-55wf-5m3q-6jjf is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
ipl/web is vulnerable to reflected XSS by malformed search requests
Real-World Exposure
ipl/web🐘ipl/webReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious Javascript into a victim's browser to run it in the context of Icinga Web. The victim needs to visit a specifically prepared website and may have no immediate chance to notice any wrongdoing.
Patches
Version 0.13.1 includes a fix for this. It will be published as part of icinga-php-library version 0.19.2.
Workarounds
Enable the Content-Security-Policy (CSP) in the general configuration of Icinga Web available since version 2.12.0.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for ipl/web. 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 ipl/web to 0.13.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-55wf-5m3q-6jjf 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-55wf-5m3q-6jjf 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-55wf-5m3q-6jjf. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
