GHSA-8qm3-746x-r74r — devalue
Fix: sveltejs/devalue@0f04d4dGHSA-8qm3-746x-r74r is a security vulnerability in devalue. A fix is available for devalue — see the affected versions and patch details below.
devalue `uneval`ed code can create objects with polluted prototypes when `eval`ed
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.
devaluenpmDescription
Under certain circumstances, unevaling untrusted data can produce output code that will create objects with polluted prototypes when later evaled, meaning the output data can be a different shape from the input data.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for devalue, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update devalue to 5.6.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-8qm3-746x-r74r 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-8qm3-746x-r74r can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-8qm3-746x-r74r. 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-8qm3-746x-r74r in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-8qm3-746x-r74r across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
