GHSA-8qm2-24qc-c4qg
CRITICALGHSA-8qm2-24qc-c4qg is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.8) vulnerability in freshdom. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-8qm2-24qc-c4qg is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Malicious Package in freshdom
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, a proxy for how much of the ecosystem is exposed.
freshdomnpmDescription
Version 0.0.6 of freshdom contained malicious code. The code when executed in the browser would enumerate password, cvc, cardnumber fields from forms and send the extracted values to https://js-metrics.com/minjs.php?pl=
Recommendation
If version 0.0.6 of this module is found installed you will want to replace it with a version before or after 0.0.6. In addition to replacing the installed module, you will also want to evaluate your application to determine whether or not user data was compromised.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for freshdom. 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.
Remediation status
No patched version of freshdom has shipped for GHSA-8qm2-24qc-c4qg yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
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.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-8qm2-24qc-c4qg 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-8qm2-24qc-c4qg. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-8qm2-24qc-c4qg in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-8qm2-24qc-c4qg across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
