No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-3x5x-fw77-g54c yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-3x5x-fw77-g54c?

GHSA-3x5x-fw77-g54c affects the following packages: dgl (PyPI). Ecosystems affected: PyPI.

How do I fix GHSA-3x5x-fw77-g54c?

No patched version of dgl has shipped for GHSA-3x5x-fw77-g54c yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.

How do I detect GHSA-3x5x-fw77-g54c in my PyPI dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-3x5x-fw77-g54c 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-3x5x-fw77-g54c?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-3x5x-fw77-g54c can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-3x5x-fw77-g54c actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-3x5x-fw77-g54c 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-3x5x-fw77-g54c published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-3x5x-fw77-g54c was published on March 5, 2025 and was last updated on March 5, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

🐍dgl

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

Impact

Dgl implements rpc server (start_server() in rpc_server.py) for supporting the RPC communications among different remote users over networks. It relies on pickle serialize and deserialize to pack and unpack network messages. The is a known risk in pickle deserialization functionality that can be used for remote code execution.

Patches

TBD.

Workarounds

When running DGL distributed training and inference (DistDGL) make sure you do not assign public IPs to any instance in the cluster.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

Detect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for dgl, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
No patched version of dgl has shipped for GHSA-3x5x-fw77-g54c 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.
