GHSA-pr5m-4w22-8483
GHSA-pr5m-4w22-8483 is a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in org.nanohttpd:nanohttpd-nanolets. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-pr5m-4w22-8483 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
NanoHTTPD Cross-site Scripting vulnerability
Real-World Exposure
org.nanohttpd:nanohttpd-nanoletsReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
An issue was discovered in RouterNanoHTTPD.java in NanoHTTPD through 2.3.1. The GeneralHandler class implements a basic GET handler that prints debug information as an HTML page. Any web server that extends this class without implementing its own GET handler is vulnerable to reflected XSS, because the GeneralHandler GET handler prints user input passed through the query string without any sanitization.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.nanohttpd:nanohttpd-nanolets. 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.
Remediation status
No patched version of org.nanohttpd:nanohttpd-nanolets has shipped for GHSA-pr5m-4w22-8483 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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-pr5m-4w22-8483 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-pr5m-4w22-8483. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
