GHSA-g694-m8vq-gv9h
MEDIUMGHSA-g694-m8vq-gv9h is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.5) CWE-115 vulnerability in urijs. 1 public exploit reference exists, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-g694-m8vq-gv9h is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
URL Confusion When Scheme Not Supplied in medialize/uri.js
Blast Radius
urijsReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects npm packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Medialize is a Javascript URL mutation library. When parsing a URL without a scheme and with excessive slashes, like ///www.example.com, URI.js will parse the hostname as null and the path as /www.example.com. Such behaviour is different from that exhibited by browsers, which will parse ///www.example.com as http://www.example.com instead. For example, the following will cause a redirect to http://www.example.com: A fix was released in version 1.19.11.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for urijs. 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 urijs to 1.19.11 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-g694-m8vq-gv9h 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-g694-m8vq-gv9h 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-g694-m8vq-gv9h. 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-g694-m8vq-gv9h in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-g694-m8vq-gv9h across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
