GHSA-59cf-m7v5-wh5w
MEDIUMGHSA-59cf-m7v5-wh5w is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.4) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in t3g/svg-sanitizer. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-59cf-m7v5-wh5w is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Cross-Site Scripting in SVG Sanitizer
Real-World Exposure
t3g/svg-sanitizerReal-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
Slightly invalid or incomplete SVG markup is not correctly processed and thus not sanitized at all. Albeit the markup is not valid it still is evaluated in browsers and leads to cross-site scripting.
An updated version 1.0.3 is available from the TYPo3 extension manager and at https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/download/svg_sanitizer/1.0.3/zip/ Users of the extension are advised to update the extension as soon as possible.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for t3g/svg-sanitizer. 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 t3g/svg-sanitizer to 1.0.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-59cf-m7v5-wh5w 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-59cf-m7v5-wh5w 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-59cf-m7v5-wh5w. 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-59cf-m7v5-wh5w in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-59cf-m7v5-wh5w across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
