How severe is GHSA-792x-6vq6-j8r9?

GHSA-792x-6vq6-j8r9 has a CVSS score of 7.1/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-792x-6vq6-j8r9?

GHSA-792x-6vq6-j8r9 affects the following packages: org.springframework.integration:spring-integration-file (Maven), org.springframework.integration:spring-integration-file (Maven), org.springframework.integration:spring-integration-file (Maven), org.springframework.integration:spring-integration-file (Maven), org.springframework.integration:spring-integration-file (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-792x-6vq6-j8r9?

Update org.springframework.integration:spring-integration-file to 7.0.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-792x-6vq6-j8r9 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-792x-6vq6-j8r9 in my Maven dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-792x-6vq6-j8r9 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Resolve every user-supplied path to its canonical form and reject anything that escapes the intended directory, and run the component under an account that has no read or write access outside the directory it legitimately serves.

Is GHSA-792x-6vq6-j8r9 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-792x-6vq6-j8r9 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-792x-6vq6-j8r9?

GHSA-792x-6vq6-j8r9 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 16th 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-792x-6vq6-j8r9?

GHSA-792x-6vq6-j8r9 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-792x-6vq6-j8r9 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-792x-6vq6-j8r9 was published on June 11, 2026 and was last updated on August 7, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Fixing This On Your OS

If you run this on a Linux distribution, patch through your package manager against the distro's own security advisory below — it tracks the exact backported fix for your release, which can ship on a different timeline (and sometimes a different severity) than the upstream project.

Red HatImportant

Red Hat ships Spring Integration as a bundled dependency in several middleware products. A flaw was found in Spring Integration's FTP, SFTP, and SMB inbound file synchronization adapters where server-supplied filenames are written to the local filesystem without path canonicalization, allowing a malicious or…

Workaround published by Red Hat

Restrict network access so that applications using Spring Integration file synchronization (FTP, SFTP, SMB inbound adapters) can only connect to trusted, known servers. Use firewall rules or network policies to prevent connections to untrusted endpoints. Additionally, run the application with minimal filesystem permissions to limit the impact of any arbitrary file write.
