Summary
Cross-Site Scripting in md-data-table
All versions of md-data-table are vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS). This vulnerability is exploitable if an attacker has control over data that is rendered by mdt-row
Impact
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.

Security releases
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.

As there is no fix for this vulnerability at this time we recommend either selecting another package to perform this functionality or properly sanitizing all user data prior to rendering with md-data-table
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is GHSA-HGR5-82RC-P936? GHSA-HGR5-82RC-P936 is a high-severity cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in md-data-table (npm), affecting versions >= 0.0.0. No fixed version is listed yet. Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session.
- Which versions of md-data-table are affected by GHSA-HGR5-82RC-P936? md-data-table (npm) versions >= 0.0.0 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-HGR5-82RC-P936? No fixed version is listed for GHSA-HGR5-82RC-P936 yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
- Is GHSA-HGR5-82RC-P936 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-HGR5-82RC-P936 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-HGR5-82RC-P936 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-HGR5-82RC-P936? No fixed version is listed yet. In the interim: Validate and encode untrusted input before rendering it as HTML. Applying a Content Security Policy reduces the impact if encoding is bypassed.
