GHSA-525f-pvj5-vqmq
CRITICALGHSA-525f-pvj5-vqmq is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.1) OS Command Injection vulnerability in magento/community-edition. 1 public exploit reference exists, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-525f-pvj5-vqmq is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Description
Adobe Commerce versions 2.4.6-p3, 2.4.5-p5, 2.4.4-p6 and earlier are affected by an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability that could lead in arbitrary code execution by an attacker. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for magento/community-edition. 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
No patched version of magento/community-edition has shipped for GHSA-525f-pvj5-vqmq yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
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-525f-pvj5-vqmq 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-525f-pvj5-vqmq. 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-525f-pvj5-vqmq in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-525f-pvj5-vqmq across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
