# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2019-14537
Advisory: Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type ('Type Confusion') in yourls/yourls
IDs: CVE-2019-14537, GHSA-vf23-f26f-mjj9
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2019-14537 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 14:48 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.8)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: yourls/yourls 1.7.4. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.
## Affected components
- Packagist yourls/yourls: affected < 1.7.4; fixed in 1.7.4
## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Packagist yourls/yourls: check the installed version with your package manager.
## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.
## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on yourls/yourls.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.
## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.
## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
