How do I fix GHSA-3j63-5h8p-gf7c?

Update x402 to 0.5.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-3j63-5h8p-gf7c is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-3j63-5h8p-gf7c in my npm dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for x402, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-3j63-5h8p-gf7c 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-3j63-5h8p-gf7c?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-3j63-5h8p-gf7c can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-3j63-5h8p-gf7c actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-3j63-5h8p-gf7c 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.

When was GHSA-3j63-5h8p-gf7c published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-3j63-5h8p-gf7c was published on August 20, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.
