GHSA-8vcg-cfxj-p5m3

CRITICAL

GHSA-8vcg-cfxj-p5m3 is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.1) Improper Input Validation vulnerability in weblate. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-8vcg-cfxj-p5m3 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Weblate is vulnerable to RCE through Git config file overwrite

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for weblate. 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.

  2. Fix

    Update weblate to 5.15.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-8vcg-cfxj-p5m3 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-8vcg-cfxj-p5m3 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-8vcg-cfxj-p5m3. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
