Description
Arches is a web platform for creating, managing, & visualizing geospatial data. Versions prior to 6.1.2, 6.2.1, and 7.1.2 are vulnerable to SQL Injection. With a carefully crafted web request, it's possible to execute certain unwanted sql statements against the database. This issue is fixed in version 7.12, 6.2.1, and 6.1.2. Users are recommended to upgrade as soon as possible. There are no workarounds.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🐍PyPI | arches | all versions | 6.1.2 |
| 🐍PyPI | arches | ≥ 6.2.0&&< 6.2.1 | 6.2.1 |
| 🐍PyPI | arches | ≥ 7.0.0&&< 7.2.0 | 7.2.0 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for arches. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update arches to 6.1.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-41892 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2022-41892 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2022-41892. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
