What is GHSA-CFXH-FRX4-9GJG?

GHSA-CFXH-FRX4-9GJG is a critical-severity cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in @spscommerce/ds-react (npm), affecting versions >= 4.12.2, < 7.17.4. It is fixed in 7.17.4. Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session.

Which versions of @spscommerce/ds-react are affected by GHSA-CFXH-FRX4-9GJG?

@spscommerce/ds-react (npm) versions >= 4.12.2, < 7.17.4 is affected.

Is there a fix for GHSA-CFXH-FRX4-9GJG?

Yes. GHSA-CFXH-FRX4-9GJG is fixed in 7.17.4. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is GHSA-CFXH-FRX4-9GJG exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether GHSA-CFXH-FRX4-9GJG is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether GHSA-CFXH-FRX4-9GJG is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

How do I fix GHSA-CFXH-FRX4-9GJG?

Upgrade @spscommerce/ds-react to 7.17.4 or later.

Summary

Cross-site Scripting in @spscommerce/ds-react

Workarounds

This is not recommended. If you are not upgrading then you would need to sanitize your options yourself (including those currently stored in databases). This is not recommended.

Impact

XSS, anyone using the SPS Select with options prop populated from user input is impacted. If these options are stored, then it could have been a stored XSS.

Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session. Typical impact: session or credential theft, and actions taken as the user.

Affected versions

@spscommerce/ds-react (>= 4.12.2, < 7.17.4)

Security releases

@spscommerce/ds-react → 7.17.4 (npm)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
