GHSA-436g-fhfc-9g5w
GHSA-436g-fhfc-9g5w is a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in dtale. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-436g-fhfc-9g5w is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
D-Tale: Remote Code Execution through redis/shelf storage
Real-World Exposure
dtaleReal-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
Users hosting D-Tale publicly while using a redis or shelf storage layer could be vulnerable to remote code execution allowing attackers to run malicious code on the server.
Patches
Users should upgrade to version 3.22.0.
Workarounds
There are no workarounds for versions < 3.22.0
Affected Packages

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for dtale. 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 dtale to 3.22.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-436g-fhfc-9g5w 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-436g-fhfc-9g5w 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-436g-fhfc-9g5w. 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-436g-fhfc-9g5w in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-436g-fhfc-9g5w across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
