How severe is GHSA-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g?

GHSA-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g has a CVSS score of 2/10, rated LOW. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g?

GHSA-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g affects the following packages: concrete5/concrete5 (Packagist). Ecosystems affected: Packagist.

How do I fix GHSA-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g?

Update concrete5/concrete5 to 9.2.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g in my Packagist dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for concrete5/concrete5. 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-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g 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-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g 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-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g 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.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g?

GHSA-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.5%, placing it in the 36th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g?

GHSA-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g is classified as Improper Input Validation (CWE-20), Cross-site Scripting (XSS) (CWE-79). These weakness types describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-9v3w-cj7m-qh5g was published on February 9, 2024 and was last updated on February 16, 2024. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Concrete CMS in version 9 before 9.2.5 is vulnerable to reflected XSS via the Image URL Import Feature due to insufficient validation of administrator provided data. A rogue administrator could inject malicious code when importing images, leading to the execution of the malicious code on the website user’s browser. The Concrete CMS Security team scored this 2 with CVSS v3 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss/v3-calculator . This does not affect Concrete versions prior to version 9.
