Cross-Site Scripting in htmr
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (htmr 0.8.7), 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.

Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
Versions of htmr prior to 0.8.7 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The package uses innerHTML to unescape HTML entities. This may lead to DOM-based XSS through HTML-encoded XSS payloads. This may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser. Recommendation Upgrade to version 0.8.7 or later.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-f8rq-m28h-8hxj Advisory: Cross-Site Scripting in htmr IDs: GHSA-f8rq-m28h-8hxj Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-f8rq-m28h-8hxj (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: htmr 0.8.7. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - npm htmr: affected < 0.8.7; fixed in 0.8.7 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - `npm ls htmr --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 htmr. - 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-f8rq-m28h-8hxj (OSV record GHSA-f8rq-m28h-8hxj lists affected ranges: npm htmr >=0 <0.8.7 (fixed)) - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-f8rq-m28h-8hxj (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-f8rq-m28h-8hxj lists affected ranges: npm htmr >=0 <0.8.7) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
