Impact
A potential security issue has been mitigated on old account deployment functions from the factory. Smart wallets in use on all existing supported networks are not impacted.
Patches
Please direct creation of new wallets to either createSemiModularAccount on AccountFactory.sol or createWebAuthnAccount on WebAuthnFactory.sol.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @account-kit/smart-contracts. 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 @account-kit/smart-contracts to 4.52.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-56r6-ccm5-8hg3 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-56r6-ccm5-8hg3 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-56r6-ccm5-8hg3. 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-56r6-ccm5-8hg3 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-56r6-ccm5-8hg3 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
