GHSA-8v67-x8q5-3x3g
MEDIUMGHSA-8v67-x8q5-3x3g is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.1) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in simditor. 2 public exploit references exist, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-8v67-x8q5-3x3g is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Cross-Site Scripting in simditor
Blast Radius
simditorReal-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 simditor prior to 2.3.22 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting. The package does not sanitize user input that is rendered with innerHTML, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript.
Recommendation
Upgrade to version 2.3.22 or later.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for simditor. 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 simditor to 2.3.22 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-8v67-x8q5-3x3g 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-8v67-x8q5-3x3g 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-8v67-x8q5-3x3g. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
