GHSA-7wgr-7666-7pwj is a low-severity (CVSS 3) Path Traversal vulnerability in openapi-python-client. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-7wgr-7666-7pwj is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Path Traversal in openapi-python-client
Real-World Exposure
openapi-python-clientReal-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
Path traversal vulnerability. If a user generated a client using a maliciously crafted OpenAPI document, it is possible for generated files to be placed in arbitrary locations on disk.
Giving this a CVSS score of 3.0 (Low) with CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:P/RL:U/RC:C
Patches
A fix is being worked on for version 0.5.3
Workarounds
Inspect OpenAPI documents before generating clients for them.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for openapi-python-client. 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.
Fix
Update openapi-python-client to 0.5.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7wgr-7666-7pwj 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-7wgr-7666-7pwj 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-7wgr-7666-7pwj. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-7wgr-7666-7pwj in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-7wgr-7666-7pwj across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
