Which packages are affected by GHSA-88qp-p4qg-rqm6?

GHSA-88qp-p4qg-rqm6 affects the following packages: @sveltejs/kit (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix GHSA-88qp-p4qg-rqm6?

Update @sveltejs/kit to 2.52.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-88qp-p4qg-rqm6 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-88qp-p4qg-rqm6 in my npm dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @sveltejs/kit. 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-88qp-p4qg-rqm6 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-88qp-p4qg-rqm6?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-88qp-p4qg-rqm6 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-88qp-p4qg-rqm6 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-88qp-p4qg-rqm6 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.

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

Description

Versions of @sveltejs/kit prior to 2.52.2 with remote functions enabled are vulnerable to CPU exhaustion. Malformed form data can cause the server to become unresponsive while processing a request, resulting in denial of service.

Only applications using both experimental.remoteFunctions and form are vulnerable.
