GHSA-92mm-2pjq-r785
HIGHGHSA-92mm-2pjq-r785 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) Information Exposure vulnerability in github.com/hashicorp/go-getter. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-92mm-2pjq-r785 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
HashiCorp's go-getter library may allow arbitrary file reads

Description
HashiCorp's go-getter library up to v1.8.5 may allow arbitrary file reads on the file system during certain git operations through a maliciously crafted URL. This is fixed in go-getter v1.8.6. This vulnerability does not affect the go-getter/v2 branch and package.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/hashicorp/go-getter. 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 github.com/hashicorp/go-getter to 1.8.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-92mm-2pjq-r785 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-92mm-2pjq-r785 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-92mm-2pjq-r785. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
