@kindspells/astro-shieldnpmDescription
Impact
Versions from 1.2.0 to 1.3.1 of Astro-Shield allow to bypass the allow-lists for cross-origin resources by introducing valid integrity attributes to the injected code. This implies that the injected SRI hash would be added to the generated CSP header, which would lead the browser to believe that the injected resource is legit.
To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker needs to first inject code into the rendered pages by exploiting other not-related potential vulnerabilities.
Patches
Version 1.3.2 provides a patch.
Workarounds
- To not use the middleware functionality of Astro-Shield.
- To use the middleware functionality of Astro-Shield ONLY for content that cannot be controlled in any way by external users.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @kindspells/astro-shield, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update @kindspells/astro-shield to 1.3.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-c4gr-q97g-ppwc 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.
