GHSA-69x5-hjg4-m267
MEDIUMGHSA-69x5-hjg4-m267 is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.3) Path Traversal vulnerability in github.com/openshift/console. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-69x5-hjg4-m267 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
OpenShift Console Has a Path Traversal Vulnerability
Blast Radius
github.com/openshift/consoleReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
A flaw was found in the OpenShift Console, an endpoint for plugins to serve resources in multiple languages: /locales/resources.json. This endpoint's lng and ns parameters are used to construct a filepath in pkg/plugins/handlers unsafely.go#L112 Because of this unsafe filepath construction, an authenticated user can manipulate the path to retrieve any JSON files on the console's pod by using sequences of ../ and valid directory paths.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/openshift/console. 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.
Remediation status
No patched version of github.com/openshift/console has shipped for GHSA-69x5-hjg4-m267 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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 O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-69x5-hjg4-m267 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-69x5-hjg4-m267. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
