Description

Summary

Description A Cross-site Scripting (CWE-79) vulnerability in Qwik.js' server-side rendering virtual attribute serialization allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary web scripts into server-rendered pages via virtual attributes. Successful exploitation permits script execution in a victim's browser in the context of the affected origin. This affects qwik-city before version 1.19.0. This has been patched in qwik-city version 1.19.0.

Impact

This vulnerability impacts applications that dynamically populate Virtual Node attributes with keys/values that users can influence. Applications that hard-code these keys/values are unaffected.

Qwik doesn't use traditional hydration. Instead, it serializes application state into the HTML so the client can resume execution from the server-rendered output. To support this, Qwik v1 marks component boundaries with HTML comments. SSR builds comment content for Virtual components by concatenating structural attribute names and values without any escaping or quoting. An attacker-controlled key or value can prematurely close the HTML comment and inject arbitrary HTML/JS.

Successful exploitation permits script execution in a victim’s browser in the context of the affected origin. Additionally, because Qwik uses these serialized comment markers for resumability, breaking comment structure can lead to resume/hydration desync and unexpected client-side behavior.

Patches

This has been patched in qwik-city version 1.19.0. Users are strongly encouraged to update to the latest available release.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @builder.io/qwik-city. 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.

  2. Fix

    Update @builder.io/qwik-city to 1.19.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-m6jq-g7gq-5w3c is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-m6jq-g7gq-5w3c 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-m6jq-g7gq-5w3c. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
