How do I fix GHSA-33w6-hvmq-gh4x?

Update diffoscope to 256 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-33w6-hvmq-gh4x is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-33w6-hvmq-gh4x in my PyPI dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-33w6-hvmq-gh4x if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Resolve every user-supplied path to its canonical form and reject anything that escapes the intended directory, and run the component under an account that has no read or write access outside the directory it legitimately serves.

Is GHSA-33w6-hvmq-gh4x actively exploited in the wild?

🐍diffoscope

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

Description

diffoscope before 256 allows directory traversal via an embedded filename in a GPG file. Contents of any file, such as ../.ssh/id_rsa, may be disclosed to an attacker. This occurs because the value of the gpg --use-embedded-filenames option is trusted.
