Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for OPCFoundation.NetStandard.Opc.Ua, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update OPCFoundation.NetStandard.Opc.Ua to 1.4.353.15 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-782p-53wq-cxmj is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Constrain what reaches the vulnerable code: limit the size and shape of untrusted input, isolate the affected component in a sandboxed or least-privileged process, and enable the platform's memory-safety mitigations (ASLR, stack protector, hardened allocator) so an out-of-bounds access is more likely to fail closed than to be exploitable.
