How severe is GHSA-g5qx-h5f3-mp2f?

No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-g5qx-h5f3-mp2f yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-g5qx-h5f3-mp2f?

GHSA-g5qx-h5f3-mp2f affects the following packages: tinacms (npm), @tinacms/app (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix GHSA-g5qx-h5f3-mp2f?

Update tinacms to 3.9.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-g5qx-h5f3-mp2f is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-g5qx-h5f3-mp2f in my npm dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for tinacms, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-g5qx-h5f3-mp2f if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.

Is GHSA-g5qx-h5f3-mp2f actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-g5qx-h5f3-mp2f 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-g5qx-h5f3-mp2f?

GHSA-g5qx-h5f3-mp2f has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 21th 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-g5qx-h5f3-mp2f?

GHSA-g5qx-h5f3-mp2f is classified as Cross-site Scripting (XSS) (CWE-79), CWE-346 (CWE-346), Open Redirect (CWE-601), CWE-940 (CWE-940). 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-g5qx-h5f3-mp2f published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-g5qx-h5f3-mp2f was published on June 19, 2026 and was last updated on September 10, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

TinaCMS registers window message listeners — the useTina overlay handler, the OAuth authentication popup handler, and the admin↔preview iframe GraphQL reducer — that act on event.data without verifying event.origin or event.source, and post messages using non-specific target origins. A page the victim visits (or a window in an opener/iframe relationship with a Tina admin) can forge messages to drive the editor, inject preview content, or observe/forge the OAuth popup channel to take over an authenticated editing session.

Fixed in #7056 by allow-listing trusted origins and verifying event.source (isFromAdmin, isFromTrustedPreviewOrigin), and by posting only to explicit target origins (never "*").

Note: the rich-text URL-sanitization issue previously bundled here has been split into its own advisory (GHSA-2vcc-5v34-9jc8) so each vulnerability can receive a distinct CVE.
