Path Traversal in express-cart
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (express-cart 1.1.7), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-8h8v-6qqm-fwpq Advisory: Path Traversal in express-cart IDs: GHSA-8h8v-6qqm-fwpq Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-8h8v-6qqm-fwpq (revision 2, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:09 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Unrated Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: express-cart 1.1.7. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - npm express-cart: affected <= 1.1.5; fixed in 1.1.7 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - `npm ls express-cart --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`. ## 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 express-cart. - 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-8h8v-6qqm-fwpq (OSV record GHSA-8h8v-6qqm-fwpq lists affected ranges: npm express-cart >=0 <1.1.7 (fixed)) - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-8h8v-6qqm-fwpq (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-8h8v-6qqm-fwpq lists affected ranges: npm express-cart >=0 <=1.1.5) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
