How do I fix GHSA-879p-8gw4-mcpw?

No patched version of fgr has shipped for GHSA-879p-8gw4-mcpw yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.

How do I detect GHSA-879p-8gw4-mcpw in my PyPI dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-879p-8gw4-mcpw 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-879p-8gw4-mcpw?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-879p-8gw4-mcpw can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Description

Impact

Any users whom would not desire a traceback to be included in their logs whenever an error is raised in their code will be affected.

If users have inadvertently created a scenario in their code that could cause a traceback to include sensitive information and a malicious entity gained access to their log stream, this could create an issue.

Patches

None yet... users will need to upgrade to 0.4.*

Workarounds

No particularly reasonable ones at present.
