GHSA-3m8r-w7xg-jqvw
CRITICALGHSA-3m8r-w7xg-jqvw is a critical-severity (CVSS 10) Unrestricted File Upload vulnerability in DNN.PLATFORM. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-3m8r-w7xg-jqvw is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
DNN Insufficient Access Control - Image Upload allows for Site Content Overwrite
Real-World Exposure
DNN.PLATFORMReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects NuGet packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Summary
The default HTML editor provider allows unauthenticated file uploads and images can overwrite existing files.
Description
An unauthenticated user can upload and replace existing files allowing defacing a website and combined with other issue, injection XSS payloads.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| .NETNuGet | DNN.PLATFORM | all versions | 10.1.1 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for DNN.PLATFORM. 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 DNN.PLATFORM to 10.1.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-3m8r-w7xg-jqvw 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 GHSA-3m8r-w7xg-jqvw 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-3m8r-w7xg-jqvw. 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-3m8r-w7xg-jqvw in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-3m8r-w7xg-jqvw across NuGet dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
