GHSA-m9cv-24rx-8mv7 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.6) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in filament/forms. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-m9cv-24rx-8mv7 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
How urgent is this, really
GHSA-m9cv-24rx-8mv7 plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 357,322 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.
Real-World Exposure
filament/formsReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
In Filament v3, a disabled RichEditor field rendered its raw state without sanitizing HTML. Where the data stored in this field's state isn't sanitized already when the form state was filled, an attacker could plant malicious HTML or JavaScript and achieve XSS that executes for users who view the form.
Please note that Filament v4 and above does not use the same mechanism for rendering a disabled RichEditor so this advisory does not apply.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for filament/forms. 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 filament/forms to 3.3.53 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-m9cv-24rx-8mv7 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-m9cv-24rx-8mv7 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-m9cv-24rx-8mv7. 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-m9cv-24rx-8mv7 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-m9cv-24rx-8mv7 across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
