Description

Impact

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in tempo/charge and tempo/session which allowed for undesirable behaviors, including:

  • Replaying tempo/charge transaction hashes across push/pull modes, across charge/session endpoints, and via concurrent requests
  • Performing free tempo/charge requests due to missing transfer log verification in pull-mode
  • Replaying tempo/charge credentials across routes via cross-route scope confusion (memo/splits not included in scope binding)
  • Manipulating the fee payer of a tempo/charge handler into paying for requests (missing sender signature before co-signing)
  • Bypassing tempo/session voucher signature verification
  • Piggybacking off existing tempo/session channels via settle voucher reuse and weak channel ID binding
  • Performing free tempo/session requests by exploiting channel reopen without on-chain settled state
  • Accepting deductions on finalized tempo/session channels
  • Bypassing payment on free routes via method-mismatch fallback
  • Griefing tempo/session channels via force-close detection bypass (closeRequestedAt not persisted)

Patches

Fixed in 0.4.8.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

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

  2. Fix

    Update mppx to 0.4.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-8x4m-qw58-3pcx 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-8x4m-qw58-3pcx can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Tailored to GHSA-8x4m-qw58-3pcx. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
