No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-58xv-7h9r-mx3c yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-58xv-7h9r-mx3c?

GHSA-58xv-7h9r-mx3c affects the following packages: drupal/drupal (Packagist), drupal/drupal (Packagist). Ecosystems affected: Packagist.

How do I fix GHSA-58xv-7h9r-mx3c?

Update drupal/drupal to 8.7.11 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-58xv-7h9r-mx3c is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-58xv-7h9r-mx3c in my Packagist dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for drupal/drupal, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-58xv-7h9r-mx3c if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-58xv-7h9r-mx3c?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-58xv-7h9r-mx3c can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-58xv-7h9r-mx3c actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-58xv-7h9r-mx3c yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

Real-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

Drupal 8 core's file_save_upload() function does not strip the leading and trailing dot ('.') from filenames, like Drupal 7 did.

Users with the ability to upload files with any extension in conjunction with contributed modules may be able to use this to upload system files such as .htaccess in order to bypass protections afforded by Drupal's default .htaccess file.

After this fix, file_save_upload() now trims leading and trailing dots from filenames.
