No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-5wvv-q5fv-2388 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-5wvv-q5fv-2388?

GHSA-5wvv-q5fv-2388 affects the following packages: hyper-staticfile (crates.io), hyper-staticfile (crates.io). Ecosystems affected: crates.io.

How do I fix GHSA-5wvv-q5fv-2388?

Update hyper-staticfile to 0.9.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-5wvv-q5fv-2388 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-5wvv-q5fv-2388 in my crates.io dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-5wvv-q5fv-2388 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-5wvv-q5fv-2388?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-5wvv-q5fv-2388 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-5wvv-q5fv-2388 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-5wvv-q5fv-2388 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 crates.io packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

When hyper-staticfile performs a redirect for a directory request (e.g. a request for /dir that redirects to /dir/), the Location header value was derived from user input (the request path), simply appending a slash. The intent was to perform an origin-relative redirect, but specific inputs allowed performing a scheme-relative redirect instead.

An attacker could craft a special URL that would appear to be for the correct domain, but immediately redirects to a malicious domain. Such a URL can benefit phishing attacks, for example an innocent looking link in an email.
