Is your app affected by CVE-2026-115392?
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Cursor or any AI coding tool: it runs a free Shippable scan of your project and fixes what it finds. Built with Lovable, Bolt or v0? Scan your live app. Or upload your package file.
Who is affected
wasmtime(crates.io) >= 0.0.0-0, < 24.0.13wasmtime(crates.io) >= 25.0.0, < 36.0.14wasmtime(crates.io) >= 37.0.0, < 46.0.3wasmtime(crates.io) >= 47.0.0, < 47.0.4
How to check
- Run
cargo tree -i wasmtimein your project to see the installed version, including copies pulled in by other packages. - Or paste your lockfile into the checker: it lists every package with a known vulnerability, this one included.
How to fix
Copies a prompt for Claude Code, Cursor or Codex: it checks your lockfiles for this and upgrades it.
- On >= 0.0.0-0, < 24.0.13: Upgrade
wasmtimeto 24.0.13 or later, commit the lockfile and redeploy. - On >= 25.0.0, < 36.0.14: Upgrade
