GHSA-f92j-qf46-p6vm
Fix: Adobe-Consulting-Services/acs-aem-commons@14d769cGHSA-f92j-qf46-p6vm is a Use After Free vulnerability in com.adobe.acs:acs-aem-commons. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-f92j-qf46-p6vm is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Reflected Cross-site Scripting in ACS Commons
Real-World Exposure
com.adobe.acs:acs-aem-commonsReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
ACS Commons version 4.9.2 (and earlier) suffers from a Reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in version-compare and page-compare due to invalid JCR characters that are not handled correctly.
An attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious JavaScript content into vulnerable form fields and execute it within the context of the victim's browser. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in order to be successful.
Patches
This issue has been resolved in v4.10.0
Workarounds
No workaround exist.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.adobe.acs:acs-aem-commons. 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 com.adobe.acs:acs-aem-commons to 4.10.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-f92j-qf46-p6vm 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-f92j-qf46-p6vm 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-f92j-qf46-p6vm. 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-f92j-qf46-p6vm in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-f92j-qf46-p6vm across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
