A XSS vulnerability exists in in React Router's <ScrollRestoration> API in Framework Mode when using the getKey/storageKey props during Server-Side Rendering which could allow arbitrary JavaScript execution during SSR if untrusted content is used to generate the keys.
> [!NOTE]
> This does not impact applications if developers have disabled server-side rendering in Framework Mode, or if they are using Declarative Mode (<BrowserRouter>) or Data Mode (createBrowserRouter/<RouterProvider>).
Is GHSA-8v8x-cx79-35w7 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 react-router, and gives you the command that fixes it.
