GHSA-fr62-mg2q-7wqv
MEDIUMIn-memory stored Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in pineconesim
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.

Description
Impact
The Pinecone Simulator (pineconesim) included in Pinecone up to commit https://github.com/matrix-org/pinecone/commit/ea4c33717fd74ef7d6f49490625a0fa10e3f5bbc is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting. The payload storage is not permanent and will be wiped when restarting pineconsim.
Patches
Commit https://github.com/matrix-org/pinecone/commit/218b2801995b174085cb1c8fafe2d3aa661f85bd contains the fixes.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/matrix-org/pinecone. 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.
Remediation status
No patched version of github.com/matrix-org/pinecone has shipped for GHSA-fr62-mg2q-7wqv yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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-fr62-mg2q-7wqv 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-fr62-mg2q-7wqv. 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-fr62-mg2q-7wqv in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-fr62-mg2q-7wqv across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
