GHSA-qm9p-f9j5-w83w
MEDIUMParcel has an Origin Validation Error vulnerability
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.
Blast Radius
Weekly download volume for affected packages — a proxy for how broadly this vulnerability is deployed.
@parcel/reporter-dev-servernpmDescription
parcel versions 1.6.1 and above have an Origin Validation Error vulnerability. Malicious websites can send XMLHTTPRequests to the application's development server and read the response to steal source code when developers visit them. Version 2.16.4 supports a --no-cors option which disables CORS headers in the dev server.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 📦npm | @parcel/reporter-dev-server | ≥ 1.6.1&&< 2.16.4 | 2.16.4 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @parcel/reporter-dev-server. 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 @parcel/reporter-dev-server to 2.16.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-qm9p-f9j5-w83w 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-qm9p-f9j5-w83w 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-qm9p-f9j5-w83w. 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-qm9p-f9j5-w83w in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-qm9p-f9j5-w83w across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
