How to Fix CVE-2022-0508

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

@peertube/embed-api fixed: 4.1.0-rc.1 
npm install @peertube/embed-api@4.1.0-rc.1
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 @peertube/embed-api

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2022-0508, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls @peertube/embed-api

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @peertube/embed api in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.1.0-rc.1), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls @peertube/embed-api command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
