No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-9237-rg5p-rhfw yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-9237-rg5p-rhfw?

GHSA-9237-rg5p-rhfw affects the following packages: @saltcorn/data (npm), @saltcorn/data (npm), @saltcorn/data (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix GHSA-9237-rg5p-rhfw?

Update @saltcorn/data to 1.4.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-9237-rg5p-rhfw is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-9237-rg5p-rhfw in my npm dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-9237-rg5p-rhfw 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-9237-rg5p-rhfw?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-9237-rg5p-rhfw can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-9237-rg5p-rhfw actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-9237-rg5p-rhfw 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.

When was GHSA-9237-rg5p-rhfw published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-9237-rg5p-rhfw was published on April 22, 2026 and was last updated on April 22, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Summary

When a tenant admin is logged out of the root domain (e.g., saltcorn.com) but logged in to their own tenant space as admin, they can simply append /tenant/create to their tenant URL. The system reads the role from the tenant context (admin), and a new tenant is created on the root domain (in PUBLIC SCHEMA > _sc_tenants), rather than in the tenant's own _sc_tenants table.

If the same logic applies to other routes, a tenant admin effectively gains admin rights on the root domain.

PoC

A tenant-created subtenant appears under the Saltcorn public schema instead of the tenant's own schema.

Even when role_id=1 is required for tenant creation on saltcorn.com (only admin can create tenants), existing tenant admins can still create new tenants because their local role_id:1 is evaluated against the root domain.
Even when role_to_create_tenant is set to 0 in the tenant's _sc_config schema, or removed entirely, the tenant admin can still create sub-tenants on the root domain — suggesting role_to_create_tenant is not being read at all.

Impact

Tenant admins gain unauthorized admin-level access to the root domain. Any authenticated tenant admin can perform privileged operations (e.g., creating tenants) on the root domain by exploiting the role context mismatch.
