Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for tech.powerjob:powerjob-server-starter, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
No patched version of tech.powerjob:powerjob-server-starter has shipped for GHSA-4fp2-3xgg-jg4w 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
Until you can upgrade, make sure every query built from user input uses parameterised statements or a prepared-statement API rather than string concatenation, and reduce the database account's privileges so an injected query cannot read or alter data beyond what the feature needs.
