GHSA-4m8c-h7fr-gq5c
CRITICALGHSA-4m8c-h7fr-gq5c is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.6) Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in org.cloudfoundry.identity:cloudfoundry-identity-server. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-4m8c-h7fr-gq5c is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Description
Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) before 242; UAA 2.x before 2.7.4.7, 3.x before 3.3.0.5, and 3.4.x before 3.4.4; UAA BOSH before 11.5 and 12.x before 12.5; Elastic Runtime before 1.6.40, 1.7.x before 1.7.21, and 1.8.x before 1.8.2; and Ops Manager 1.7.x before 1.7.13 and 1.8.x before 1.8.1 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of unspecified victims for requests that approve or deny a scope via a profile or authorize approval page.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.cloudfoundry.identity:cloudfoundry-identity-server. 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 org.cloudfoundry.identity:cloudfoundry-identity-server to 2.7.4.7 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-4m8c-h7fr-gq5c 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-4m8c-h7fr-gq5c 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-4m8c-h7fr-gq5c. 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-4m8c-h7fr-gq5c in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-4m8c-h7fr-gq5c across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
