How to Fix CVE-2025-27155

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

github.com/matrix-org/pinecone fixed: Latest secure release 
Upgrade github.com/matrix-org/pinecone to Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

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

inspect dependencies for github.com/matrix-org/pinecone

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2025-27155, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/matrix org/pinecone:

inspect dependencies for github.com/matrix-org/pinecone

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/matrix org/pinecone in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-80: Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page (Basic XSS), where the product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special characters such as "<", ">", and "&" that could be interpreted as web-scripting elements when they are sent to a downstream component that processes web pages. In Github.com/matrix org/pinecone, 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 The Pinecone Simulator (pineconesim) included in Pinecone up to commit https://github.com/matrix-org/pinecone/commit/ea4c33717fd74ef7d6f49490625a0fa10e3f5bbc is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting. The payload storage is not permanent and will be wiped when restarting pineconsim. ### Patches Commit https://github.com/matrix-org/pinecone/commit/218b2801995b174085cb1c8fafe2d3aa661f85bd contains the fixes. ### Workarounds N/A ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please email us at [security at matrix.org](mailto:security@matrix.org).
