Which packages are affected by GHSA-64wv-c7jw-jw2q?

GHSA-64wv-c7jw-jw2q affects the following packages: xataface/xataface (Packagist). Ecosystems affected: Packagist.

How do I fix GHSA-64wv-c7jw-jw2q?

Update xataface/xataface to 3.0.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-64wv-c7jw-jw2q is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-64wv-c7jw-jw2q in my Packagist dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for xataface/xataface. 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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-64wv-c7jw-jw2q if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-64wv-c7jw-jw2q?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-64wv-c7jw-jw2q is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-64wv-c7jw-jw2q actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-64wv-c7jw-jw2q yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-64wv-c7jw-jw2q?

GHSA-64wv-c7jw-jw2q has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.5%, placing it in the 39th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-64wv-c7jw-jw2q?

GHSA-64wv-c7jw-jw2q is classified as Cross-site Scripting (XSS) (CWE-79). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-64wv-c7jw-jw2q published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-64wv-c7jw-jw2q was published on January 5, 2023 and was last updated on November 8, 2023. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.
