No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-869j-r97x-hx2g yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-869j-r97x-hx2g?

GHSA-869j-r97x-hx2g affects the following packages: aqt (PyPI). Ecosystems affected: PyPI.

How do I fix GHSA-869j-r97x-hx2g?

Update aqt to 25.9.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-869j-r97x-hx2g is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-869j-r97x-hx2g in my PyPI dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for aqt. 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-869j-r97x-hx2g 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-869j-r97x-hx2g?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-869j-r97x-hx2g 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-869j-r97x-hx2g actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-869j-r97x-hx2g 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-869j-r97x-hx2g?

GHSA-869j-r97x-hx2g has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 8th 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-869j-r97x-hx2g?

GHSA-869j-r97x-hx2g is classified as CWE-346 (CWE-346). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-869j-r97x-hx2g published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-869j-r97x-hx2g was published on June 19, 2026 and was last updated on July 23, 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

Summary

Anki launches a local HTTP server to serve media files and web pages for parts of its interface. While the server has a CORS setup, requests from other origins were not blocked, allowing malicious websites to potentially trigger side-effecting requests.

Browser impact

The severity varies by browser because of Private Network Access (PNA), a newer spec that restricts web pages from making requests to localhost/local network addresses:

Chrome/Chromium (including Edge, Brave): Largely protected, as Chrome has implemented PNA restrictions for several years and now puts local network access behind a permission prompt. Safari: Hasn't implemented PNA yet, though macOS has some OS-level protections. Firefox: Most vulnerable — hasn't implemented PNA yet, though it's reportedly planned for Firefox 151.

Patches

The issue was fixed as of Anki 25.09.3
