How to Fix CVE-2023-0410

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected @builder.io/qwik dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

@builder.io/qwik fixed: 0.16.2 
npm install @builder.io/qwik@0.16.2
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

npm ls @builder.io/qwik

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2023-0410, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls @builder.io/qwik

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @builder.io/qwik in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.16.2), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls @builder.io/qwik command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
