GHSA-92x2-jw7w-xvvx is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) Information Exposure vulnerability in twisted. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-92x2-jw7w-xvvx is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Cookie and header exposure in twisted
Real-World Exposure
twistedReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
Cookie and Authorization headers are leaked when following cross-origin redirects in twited.web.client.RedirectAgent and twisted.web.client.BrowserLikeRedirectAgent.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🐍PyPI | twisted | ≥ 11.1.0&&< 22.1.0 | 22.1.0 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for twisted. 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 twisted to 22.1.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-92x2-jw7w-xvvx 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-92x2-jw7w-xvvx 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-92x2-jw7w-xvvx. 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-92x2-jw7w-xvvx in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-92x2-jw7w-xvvx across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
