sweetalert2 v8.19.1 and above contains hidden functionality
Published 23 Nov 2022 · Updated 24 Sept 2025
Affected package
- Affected
- >=8.19.1 <11.22.4
- Fixed in
- 11.22.4
npm install sweetalert2@11.22.4Details
sweetalert2 versions 8.19.1 and up until 9.0.0 are vulnerable to hidden functionality that was introduced by the maintainer. The package outputs audio and/or video messages that do not pertain to the functionality of the package and is not included in versions below 8.19.1.
Workaround
Users who are unable to update to the fixed version (11.22.4) can use package versions 8.19.0 and below, as they do not contain the hidden functionality.
Is GHSA-8jh9-wqpf-q52c in any of your client repos?
Checking one package by hand is fine. Checking it across forty client projects is not. NPMscan reads the lockfiles in every GitHub repo you pick, finds each project with an affected sweetalert2, and gives you the command that fixes it.
