How to Fix CVE-2025-68457

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

orejime fixed: 2.3.2 
npm install orejime@2.3.2
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 orejime

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2025-68457, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls orejime

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Orejime in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.3.2), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In Orejime, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact On HTML elements handled by Orejime, one could run malicious code by embedding `javascript:` code within data attributes. When consenting to the related purpose, Orejime would turn data attributes into unprefixed ones (i.e. `data-href` into `href`), thus executing the code. This shouldn't have any impact on most setups, as elements handled by Orejime are generally hardcoded. The problem would only arise if somebody could inject HTML code within pages. See https://github.com/boscop-fr/orejime/issues/142 for the original report. ### Patches The problem has been patched by https://github.com/boscop-fr/orejime/pull/143. It is available in version 2.3.2. ### Workarounds The problem can be fixed outside of Orejime by sanitizing attributes which could contain executable code.
