Real-World Exposure

1 pkg affected
🐍inventree

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

Datasets exported to file (e.g. CSV / XLS) are not sufficiently sanitized, to neutralize potential formula injection

Patches

  • The issue is addressed in the upcoming 0.8.0 release
  • This fix will also be back-ported to the 0.7.x branch, applied to the 0.7.2 release

Workarounds

Users exporting untrusted data should open the files in safe mode (e.g. in Microsoft Excel).

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

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

  2. Fix

    Update inventree to 0.7.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7rq4-qcpw-74gq 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.
