Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects crates.io packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

PyO3 0.28.1 added support for #[pyclass(extends=PyList)] struct NativeSub (and other native types) when targeting Python 3.12 and up with the abi3 feature.

It was discovered that subclasses of such classes would use the type of the subclass when attempting to access to data of NativeSub contained within Python objects, amounting to memory corruption.

PyO3 0.28.2 fixed the issue by using the type of (e.g.) NativeSub correctly.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for pyo3, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update pyo3 to 0.28.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-47qc-857f-7w7f is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-47qc-857f-7w7f can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Tailored to GHSA-47qc-857f-7w7f. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
