GHSA-4jjr-vmv7-wh4w
HIGHGHSA-4jjr-vmv7-wh4w is a high-severity (CVSS 8.1) vulnerability in statamic/cms. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-4jjr-vmv7-wh4w is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Blast Radius
statamic/cms🐘statamic/cmsReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
Manipulating query parameters on Control Panel and REST API endpoints, or arguments in GraphQL queries, could result in the loss of content, assets, and user accounts.
The Control Panel requires authentication with minimal permissions in order to exploit. e.g. "view entries" permission to delete entries, or "view users" permission to delete users, etc.
The REST and GraphQL API exploits do not require any permissions, however neither are enabled by default. In order to be exploited, they would need to be explicitly enabled with no authentication configured, and the specific resources enabled too.
Sites that enable the REST or GraphQL API without authentication should treat patching as critical priority.
Patches
This has been fixed in 5.73.20 and 6.13.0.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for statamic/cms. 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.
Fix
Update statamic/cms to 5.73.20 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-4jjr-vmv7-wh4w is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
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.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-4jjr-vmv7-wh4w 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-4jjr-vmv7-wh4w. 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-4jjr-vmv7-wh4w in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-4jjr-vmv7-wh4w across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
