GHSA-49mg-94fc-2fx6

GHSA-49mg-94fc-2fx6 is a remote code execution vulnerability in npm-git-publish. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-49mg-94fc-2fx6 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Real-World Exposure

1 pkg affected
📦npm-git-publish

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

Description

All versions of npm-git-publish are vulnerable to Command Injection. The package fails to sanitize input and passes it directly to an execSync call, which may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the system. The publish function is vulnerable through the gitRemoteUrl variable.

Recommendation

No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative package until a fix is made available.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for npm-git-publish. 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.

  2. Remediation status

    No patched version of npm-git-publish has shipped for GHSA-49mg-94fc-2fx6 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.

  3. 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-49mg-94fc-2fx6 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-49mg-94fc-2fx6. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
