deepsearcherReal-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
A weakness has been identified in zilliztech deep-searcher up to 0.0.2. This affects the function CollectionRouter.invoke of the file deepsearcher/agent/collection_router.py. This manipulation of the argument kwargs causes improper access controls. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The pull request to fix this issue awaits acceptance.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for deepsearcher. 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.
Remediation status
No patched version of deepsearcher has shipped for GHSA-43px-gpwc-q84v 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-43px-gpwc-q84v 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-43px-gpwc-q84v. 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-43px-gpwc-q84v in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-43px-gpwc-q84v across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
