Real-World Exposure
showdoc/showdocReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
A vulnerability was determined in star7th ShowDoc up to 2.10.10/3.6.2/3.8.0. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file server/Application/Api/Controller/PageController.class.PHP of the component API Page Sort Endpoint. Executing a manipulation of the argument pages can lead to sql injection. The attack may be launched remotely. Upgrading to version 3.8.1 addresses this issue. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component. According to the researcher, "[t]he vendor explicitly stated they will not backport patches to the older affected versions."

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for showdoc/showdoc. 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 showdoc/showdoc to 3.8.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-6982 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-2026-6982 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-2026-6982. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
