GHSA-42qm-c3cf-9wv2 is a high-severity (CVSS 8.8) Code Injection vulnerability in dolibarr/dolibarr. 1 public exploit reference exists, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-42qm-c3cf-9wv2 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Real-World Exposure
dolibarr/dolibarrReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Improper php function sanitization, lead to an ability to inject arbitrary PHP code and run arbitrary commands on file system. In the function "dol_eval" in file "dolibarr/htdocs/core/lib/functions.lib.php" dangerous PHP functions are sanitized using "str_replace" and can be bypassed using following code in $s parameter
Affected Packages

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for dolibarr/dolibarr. 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 dolibarr/dolibarr to 15.0.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-42qm-c3cf-9wv2 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-42qm-c3cf-9wv2 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-42qm-c3cf-9wv2. 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-42qm-c3cf-9wv2 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-42qm-c3cf-9wv2 across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
