Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

A reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw was found in RESTEasy in all versions of RESTEasy up to 4.6.0.Final, where it did not properly handle URL encoding when calling @javax.ws.rs.PathParam without any @Produces MediaType. This flaw allows an attacker to launch a reflected XSS attack. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-bom. 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.

  2. Remediation status

    No patched version of org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-bom has shipped for GHSA-5h26-c766-g93v yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.

  3. 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-5h26-c766-g93v 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-5h26-c766-g93v. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
