How severe is CVE-2022-39326?

CVE-2022-39326 has a CVSS score of 8.8/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2022-39326?

CVE-2022-39326 affects the following packages: kartverket/github-workflows (GitHub Actions). Ecosystems affected: GitHub Actions.

How do I fix CVE-2022-39326?

Update kartverket/github-workflows to 2.7.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-39326 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2022-39326 in my GitHub Actions dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for kartverket/github-workflows, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2022-39326 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Stop passing untrusted input into the interpreter or shell: call the affected binary with an argument array rather than a composed command string, reject anything outside a strict allowlist of expected values, and run the component under an account that cannot reach beyond the work it legitimately does.

Is CVE-2022-39326 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2022-39326 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2022-39326?

CVE-2022-39326 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 1.6%, placing it in the 77th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2022-39326?
