Impact
Vendure provides an authorization system with different levels of privileges. For example, an administrator cannot create another administrator.
In the admin UI, there are a couple of places with description inputs, such as inventory/collection catalog, shipping methods, promotions, and more.
While the WYSIWYG editor allows limited customization, altering the request data (not in the ui) saves and returns arbitrary HTML with no sanitization. Causing an XSS when viewing the page.
The impact of this XSS is privilege escalation. A user that can write any type of description can trigger the attack. Then any other user that visits the vulnerable page is prone to arbitrary Javascript code execution, giving the attacker ability to execute actions on behalf of this user.
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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is GHSA-GM68-572P-Q28R? GHSA-GM68-572P-Q28R is a medium-severity cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in @vendure/admin-ui-plugin (npm), affecting versions < 2.0.3. It is fixed in 2.0.3. Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session.
- Which versions of @vendure/admin-ui-plugin are affected by GHSA-GM68-572P-Q28R? @vendure/admin-ui-plugin (npm) versions < 2.0.3 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-GM68-572P-Q28R? Yes. GHSA-GM68-572P-Q28R is fixed in 2.0.3. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is GHSA-GM68-572P-Q28R exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-GM68-572P-Q28R 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-GM68-572P-Q28R 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-GM68-572P-Q28R? Upgrade
@vendure/admin-ui-pluginto 2.0.3 or later.
