GHSA-5hhf-xmfx-4vvr has a CVSS score of 8.1/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-5hhf-xmfx-4vvr?

GHSA-5hhf-xmfx-4vvr affects the following packages: com.oviva.telematik:epa4all-client (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-5hhf-xmfx-4vvr?

Update com.oviva.telematik:epa4all-client to 1.2.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-5hhf-xmfx-4vvr is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-5hhf-xmfx-4vvr in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.oviva.telematik:epa4all-client, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-5hhf-xmfx-4vvr 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.

Is GHSA-5hhf-xmfx-4vvr actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-5hhf-xmfx-4vvr 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.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-5hhf-xmfx-4vvr?

GHSA-5hhf-xmfx-4vvr has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 8th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-5hhf-xmfx-4vvr?

GHSA-5hhf-xmfx-4vvr is classified as CWE-295 (CWE-295). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

Description

Impact

An attacker on the network path between the ePA service and the Konnektor can present any TLS certificate (self-signed, expired, wrong CN) and intercept all SOAP traffic. This includes patient identifiers (KVNR), SMC-B card operations (authentication, signing), document content, and credential exchanges.
