Which packages are affected by GHSA-3244-8mff-w398?

GHSA-3244-8mff-w398 affects the following packages: github.com/gotify/server (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix GHSA-3244-8mff-w398?

Update github.com/gotify/server to 2.2.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-3244-8mff-w398 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-3244-8mff-w398 in my Go dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-3244-8mff-w398 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-3244-8mff-w398?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-3244-8mff-w398 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-3244-8mff-w398 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-3244-8mff-w398 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.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Impact

Gotify exposes an outdated instance of the Swagger UI API documentation frontend at /docs which is susceptible to reflected XSS attacks when loading external Swagger config files.

Specifically, the DOMPurify version included with this version of Swagger UI is vulnerable to a rendering XSS incorporating the mutation payload detailed in CVE-2020-26870 which was patched in 2021. This is further tracked in the GitHub Advisory Database as GHSA-QRMM-W75W-3WPX.

An attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript and potentially take over the account of the user that clicked the link. Keep in mind, the Gotify UI won't natively expose such a malicious link, so an attacker has to get the user to open the malicious link in a context outside of Gotify.

Patches

The vulnerability has been fixed in version 2.2.3.
