GHSA-rjvg-8v36-xv9r
MEDIUMGHSA-rjvg-8v36-xv9r is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.1) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in element-plus. 2 public exploit references exist, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-rjvg-8v36-xv9r is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for element-plus. 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 element-plus to 2.0.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-rjvg-8v36-xv9r 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-rjvg-8v36-xv9r 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-rjvg-8v36-xv9r. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
