GHSA-8g35-prrr-gxxf

MEDIUM

GHSA-8g35-prrr-gxxf is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.1) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in processwire/processwire. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-8g35-prrr-gxxf is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Description

ProcessWire v3.0.200 was discovered to contain multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities via the Search Users and Search Pages function. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via injection of a crafted payload.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

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

  2. Remediation status

    No patched version of processwire/processwire has shipped for GHSA-8g35-prrr-gxxf yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.

  3. Mitigate without a patch

    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 pinpoints whether GHSA-8g35-prrr-gxxf 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-8g35-prrr-gxxf. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
