MEDIUMamphp/http-server affected by HTTP/2 DDoS vulnerability
Blast Radius
amphp/http-server🐘amphp/http-serverReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Versions of amphp/http-server prior to 3.4.4 for the 3.x release branch and prior to 2.1.10 for the 2.x release branch are vulnerable to the HTTP/2 "MadeYouReset" DoS attack described by CVE-2025-8671 and https://kb.cert.org/vuls/id/767506.
In versions 3.4.4 and 2.1.10, stream reset protection has been refactored to account for the number of reset streams within a sliding time window.
Note that your application must expose HTTP/2 connections directly to be affected by this vulnerability. Servers behind a proxy using HTTP/1.x such as nginx are not affected.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for amphp/http-server. 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 amphp/http-server to 3.4.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-8grv-jq2g-cfhw 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-8grv-jq2g-cfhw 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-8grv-jq2g-cfhw. 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-8grv-jq2g-cfhw in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-8grv-jq2g-cfhw across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
