Which packages are affected by GHSA-652x-xj99-gmcc?

GHSA-652x-xj99-gmcc affects the following packages: requests (PyPI). Ecosystems affected: PyPI.

How do I fix GHSA-652x-xj99-gmcc?

Update requests to 2.3.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-652x-xj99-gmcc is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-652x-xj99-gmcc in my PyPI dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-652x-xj99-gmcc if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Assume what was exposed is already known: rotate any credential, token or key that the affected component could return, restrict the endpoint to callers that genuinely need it, and strip sensitive fields from responses and error output at the boundary rather than relying on the client not to read them.

Is GHSA-652x-xj99-gmcc actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-652x-xj99-gmcc 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-652x-xj99-gmcc?

GHSA-652x-xj99-gmcc has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 2.0%, placing it in the 81th 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-652x-xj99-gmcc?
