Description

Impact

This vulnerability affects the ibc-go package for those running full nodes, dubbed "Huckleberry". According to their advisory:

This issue is low-severity in general, and it has a low impact and likelihood of exploitation. Depending on how a full node is architected, this issue could potentially yield a high or critical severity vulnerability.

There is no vulnerability in the DID/resource modules for cheqd-node.

Patches

Node operators are requested to upgrade to cheqd-node v1.4.2. This is a non-state breaking release, and does not require a coordinated upgrade across all node operators.

Workarounds

No. Node operators are recommended to upgrade to the latest release version.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node. 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.

  2. Fix

    Update github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node to 1.4.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7c94-gvvj-r3mg is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-7c94-gvvj-r3mg 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-7c94-gvvj-r3mg. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
