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

Using a specially crafted file, a user could potentially upload a file containing code that when executed could send arbitrary requests to the server. If that file was opened by an administrator, it could lead to escalation of privileges of the original submitter or other malicious actions. Users must have been registered to the site to exploit this vulnerability.

Patches

This vulnerability has been fixed in CKAN 2.10.7 and 2.11.2

Workarounds

On versions prior to CKAN 2.10.7 and 2.11.2, site maintainers can restrict the file types supported for uploading using the ckan.upload.user.mimetypes / ckan.upload.user.types and ckan.upload.group.mimetypes / ckan.upload.group.types config options. To entirely disable file uploads you can use:

ckan.upload.user.types = none

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

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

  2. Fix

    Update ckan to 2.10.7 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7pq5-qcp6-mcww is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
