GHSA-277p-xwpp-3jf7
CRITICALGHSA-277p-xwpp-3jf7 is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.8) vulnerability in rrgod. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-277p-xwpp-3jf7 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Malicious Package in rrgod
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, a proxy for how much of the ecosystem is exposed.
rrgodnpmDescription
All versions of rrgod are considered malicious. The package is malware designed to run arbitrary scripts. When installed, the package downloads an arbitrary file and executes its contents as a pre, post and install scripts.
Recommendation
This package is not available on the npm Registry anymore. If you happen to find this package in your environment you should consider the system it was installed on compromised and assess if further response (such as rotating all credentials found on the compromised machine) is necessary.
Affected Packages

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for rrgod. 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.
Remediation status
No patched version of rrgod has shipped for GHSA-277p-xwpp-3jf7 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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 GHSA-277p-xwpp-3jf7 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 GHSA-277p-xwpp-3jf7. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-277p-xwpp-3jf7 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-277p-xwpp-3jf7 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
