This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.7) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - npm @perfood/couch-auth: affected <= 0.26.0 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - `npm ls @perfood/couch-auth --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`. ## Supported action No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on @perfood/couch-auth. - 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. ## Sources - Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-qw8v-34ww-6q9p (OSV record GHSA-qw8v-34ww-6q9p lists affected ranges: npm @perfood/couch-auth >=0 <=0.26.0) - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-qw8v-34ww-6q9p (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-qw8v-34ww-6q9p lists affected ranges: npm @perfood/couch-auth >=0 <=0.26.0) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
