GHSA-V33J-V3X4-42QG is a medium-severity security vulnerability in hurl (rust), affecting versions <= 6.1.1. It is fixed in 7.0.0.

Which versions of hurl are affected by GHSA-V33J-V3X4-42QG?

hurl (rust) versions <= 6.1.1 is affected.

Is there a fix for GHSA-V33J-V3X4-42QG?

Yes. GHSA-V33J-V3X4-42QG is fixed in 7.0.0. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is GHSA-V33J-V3X4-42QG exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether GHSA-V33J-V3X4-42QG 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-V33J-V3X4-42QG 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.

Summary

Regex literal in Hurl files are not escaped when exported to HTML, allowing injections

Given this Hurl file:

regex.hurl:

GET https://foo.com
HTTP 200
[Asserts]
jsonpath "$.body" matches /<img src="" onerror="alert('Hi!')">/

When exported to HTML:

$ hurlfmt --out html regex.hurl
<pre><code class="language-hurl"><span class="hurl-entry"><span class="request"><span class="line"><span class="method">GET</span> <span class="url">https://foo.com</span></span>
</span><span class="response"><span class="line"><span class="version">HTTP</span> <span class="number">200</span></span>
<span class="line"><span class="section-header">[Asserts]</span></span>
<span class="line"><span class="query-type">jsonpath</span> <span class="string">"$.body"</span> <span class="predicate-type">matches</span> <span class="regex">/<img src="" onerror="alert('Hi!')">/</span></span>
</span></span><span class="line"></span>
</code></pre>

The regex literal /<img src="" onerror="alert('Hi!')">/ is not escaped:

<span class="regex">/<img src="" onerror="alert('Hi!')">/</span></span>

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.
