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.

How urgent is this, really

GHSA-62r2-gcxr-426x plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.

Where this sits among everything scored

Of 378,156 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.

Description

Summary

A user with the editmyprivateinfo right or who can otherwise change their name can XSS themselves by setting their "real name" to an XSS payload.

Details

Here's the offending line: https://github.com/StarCitizenTools/mediawiki-skins-Citizen/blob/d45c3d69f30863f622f16eb40dd41d3ca943454a/includes/Components/CitizenComponentUserInfo.php#L137

PoC

  1. Login
  2. Go to Special:Preferences
  3. Set the real name field to a string like <script>alert("Admin with a propensity for self-XSSes")</script>
  4. Save your settings and use Citizen if it's not being used already

Impact

Any user who can change their name (whether it's through the editmyprivateinfo right or through other means) can add XSS payloads that trigger for themselves only.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for starcitizentools/citizen-skin, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update starcitizentools/citizen-skin to 2.31.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-62r2-gcxr-426x is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-62r2-gcxr-426x can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Tailored to GHSA-62r2-gcxr-426x. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
