How do I fix GHSA-479j-jf2p-38pg?

Update glance to 11.0.0a0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-479j-jf2p-38pg is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-479j-jf2p-38pg in my PyPI dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-479j-jf2p-38pg 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-479j-jf2p-38pg?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-479j-jf2p-38pg can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-479j-jf2p-38pg actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-479j-jf2p-38pg 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.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-479j-jf2p-38pg?

GHSA-479j-jf2p-38pg has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 2.1%, placing it in the 81th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-479j-jf2p-38pg?

GHSA-479j-jf2p-38pg is classified as CWE-264 (CWE-264). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

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

OpenStack Image Registry and Delivery Service (Glance) before 2013.2.4, 2014.x before 2014.1.3, and Juno before Juno-3, when using the V2 API, does not properly enforce the image_size_cap configuration option, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) by uploading a large image.
