nuxt-og-imagenpmDescription
Product: Nuxt OG Image Version: 6.1.2 CWE-ID: CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation Description: Incorrect parsing of GET parameters leads to the possibility of HTML injection and JavaScript code injection. Impact: Client-Side JavaScript Execution Exploitation condition: An external user Mitigation: Correct the logic of parsing GET parameters and their subsequent implementation into the generated page. Researcher: Dmitry Prokhorov (Positive Technologies)
Research
During the analysis of the nuxt-og-image package, which is shipped with the nuxt-seo package, a zero‑day vulnerability was discovered.
This research revealed that the image‑generation component by the URI: /_og/d/ (and, in older versions, /og-image/) contains a vulnerability that allows injection of arbitrary attributes into the HTML page body. The vulnerability was reproduced using the standard configuration and the default templates.
Listing 1. The content of the configuration file nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
modules: ['nuxt-og-image'],
devServer: {
host: 'web-test.local',
port: 3000
},
site: {
url: 'http://web-test.local:3000',
},
ogImage: {
fonts: [
'Inter:400',
'Inter:700'
],
}
})
Vulnerability reproduction
To demonstrate the proof‑of‑concept, follow the URI: /_og/d/og.html?width=1000&height=1000&onmouseover=alert(document.cookie)&autofocus
The injected parameters onmouseover=alert(document.cookie) and autofocus are treated as attributes and are inserted directly into the generated HTML page.
Listing 2. HTTP-request example
GET /_og/d/og.html?width=1000&height=1000&onmouseover=alert(document.cookie) HTTP/1.1
Host: web-test.local:3000

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for nuxt-og-image. 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 nuxt-og-image to 6.2.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-mg36-wvcr-m75h 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-mg36-wvcr-m75h 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-mg36-wvcr-m75h. 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-mg36-wvcr-m75h in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-mg36-wvcr-m75h across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
