GHSA-h9wq-xcqx-mqxm
Vendure Cross Site Request Forgery vulnerability impacting all API requests
Blast Radius
@vendure/coreReal-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
Impact
Vendure is an e-commerce GraphQL framework with a number of APIs and different levels of authorization. By default the Cookie settings are insecure, having the SameSite setting as false which results in not having one (originates from the cookie-session npm package’s default settings).
Patches
In progress
Workarounds
Manually set the authOptions.cookieOptions.sameSite configuration option to 'strict', 'lax' or true.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @vendure/core. 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 @vendure/core to 2.0.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-h9wq-xcqx-mqxm 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-h9wq-xcqx-mqxm 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-h9wq-xcqx-mqxm. 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-h9wq-xcqx-mqxm in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-h9wq-xcqx-mqxm across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
