GHSA-5xgh-643p-cp2g
MEDIUMGHSA-5xgh-643p-cp2g is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.4) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in yapi-vendor. 1 public exploit reference exists, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-5xgh-643p-cp2g is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for yapi-vendor. 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 yapi-vendor to 1.3.23 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-5xgh-643p-cp2g 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-5xgh-643p-cp2g 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-5xgh-643p-cp2g. 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-5xgh-643p-cp2g in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-5xgh-643p-cp2g across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
