EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
How urgent is this, really
GHSA-c6cw-g7fc-4gwc plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 377,636 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.

Description
Summary
If values passed to a paragraph widget are not valid and contain a specific set of characters, applications are vulnerable to XSS attack against a user who opens a page on which a paragraph widget is rendered.
Versions of dynamic dashboard from v3.0.0 through v3.0.2 are affected.
Please upgrade to dynamic dashboard v3.0.2.
PoC
PoC will be published in a few weeks, once developers have had a chance to upgrade their apps.
Response
This vulnerability (in paragraph widget only) was reported by Raghav Sharma, who reported the issue and patched the issue during the morning of 05/10/2024. Thank you Raghav Sharma.
The review process concluded the same day at night, which revealed the issue was also present in paragraph widget. This was fixed the same day and dynamic dashboard v3.0.2 followed.
Note:
if you're published the view (blade files), you have to republish them or check the changes on release to update the affected file.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for lara-zeus/dynamic-dashboard, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update lara-zeus/dynamic-dashboard to 3.0.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-c6cw-g7fc-4gwc 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-c6cw-g7fc-4gwc can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-c6cw-g7fc-4gwc. 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-c6cw-g7fc-4gwc in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-c6cw-g7fc-4gwc across Packagist dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
