Supply chain compromise via malicious @cap-js/openapiGHSA-jpvj-wpmj-h7rv
CRITICALGHSA-jpvj-wpmj-h7rv is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.6) vulnerability in @cap-js/openapi. A fix is available for @cap-js/openapi — see the affected versions and patch details below.
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, and reverse-dependency count shows how many other packages break if it stays unpatched.
@cap-js/openapinpmDescription
Impact
On May 19, 2026, a compromised version of @cap-js/[email protected] was published. The malicious packages harvested credentials and attempted self-propagation. If a compromised version was installed, all credentials accessible on that machine (npm tokens, cloud provider credentials, SSH keys, GitHub PATs) should be considered compromised.
Patches
Upgrade to @cap-js/openapi >= 1.4.2 If the compromised version was ever installed, rotate all affected credentials.
Workarounds
No workarounds.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @cap-js/openapi, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update @cap-js/openapi to 1.4.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-jpvj-wpmj-h7rv 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.
