GHSA-7c82-mp33-r854 is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.1) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in bootstrap-select. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-7c82-mp33-r854 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Cross-site scripting in bootstrap-select
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, and reverse-dependency count shows how many other packages break if it stays unpatched.
bootstrap-selectnpmDescription
bootstrap-select before 1.13.6 allows Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). It does not escape title values in OPTION elements. This may allow attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 📦npm | bootstrap-select | all versions | 1.13.6 |
| .NETNuGet | bootstrap-select | all versions | 1.13.6 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for bootstrap-select. 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 bootstrap-select to 1.13.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7c82-mp33-r854 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-7c82-mp33-r854 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-7c82-mp33-r854. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Fixing This On Your OS
If you run this on a Linux distribution, patch through your package manager against the distro's own security advisory below — it tracks the exact backported fix for your release, which can ship on a different timeline (and sometimes a different severity) than the upstream project.
In OpenShift Service Mesh (OSSM) the openshift-service-mesh/kiali-rhel7 container (which installs the kiali rpm) is behind OpenShift OAuth authentication restricting access to the vulnerable bootstrap-select library to authenticated users only, therefore the impact is low.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-7c82-mp33-r854 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-7c82-mp33-r854 across npm, NuGet dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
