How severe is GHSA-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg?

GHSA-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg has a CVSS score of 7.5/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg?

GHSA-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg affects the following packages: xiaomusic (PyPI). Ecosystems affected: PyPI.

How do I fix GHSA-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg?

Update xiaomusic to 0.5.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg in my PyPI dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for xiaomusic. 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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg 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-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg 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-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg?

GHSA-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.5%, placing it in the 40th 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-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg?

GHSA-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg is classified as Path Traversal (CWE-22). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-5j8p-5rrj-8wjg was published on May 29, 2026 and was last updated on July 2, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

xiaomusic v0.5.7 contains an unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability in the GET /music/{file_path:path} endpoint that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files outside the intended music directory by exploiting an incomplete path prefix check. Attackers can request files from sibling directories whose names share the music_path prefix by crafting traversal sequences, bypassing the path restriction due to the missing trailing separator in the comparison logic to retrieve arbitrary files from the server.
