How severe is GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx?

GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx has a CVSS score of 2.8/10, rated LOW. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx?

GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx affects the following packages: freewvs (PyPI). Ecosystems affected: PyPI.

How do I fix GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx?

Update freewvs to 0.1.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx in my PyPI dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for freewvs. 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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx 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-7pmh-vrww-25xx?

GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.6%, placing it in the 44th 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-7pmh-vrww-25xx?

GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx is classified as Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (CWE-400), CWE-674 (CWE-674). These weakness types describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx was published on August 30, 2024 and was last updated on March 13, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Impact

A directory structure of more than 1000 nested directories can interrupt a freewvs scan due to Python's recursion limit and os.walk(). This can be problematic in a case where an administrator scans the dirs of potentially untrusted users.

Patches

This has been fixed in this commit by limiting the recursion to 500 directories: https://github.com/schokokeksorg/freewvs/commit/83a6b55c0435c69f447488b791555e6078803143

Fix
Update freewvs to 0.1.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
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.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-7pmh-vrww-25xx 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-7pmh-vrww-25xx. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
