How do I fix GHSA-936v-cg49-m2g5?

Update com.google.cloud.tools:jib-core to 0.22.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-936v-cg49-m2g5 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-936v-cg49-m2g5 in my Maven dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-936v-cg49-m2g5 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.

Is GHSA-936v-cg49-m2g5 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-936v-cg49-m2g5 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.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-936v-cg49-m2g5?

GHSA-936v-cg49-m2g5 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 1.8%, placing it in the 78th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

When was GHSA-936v-cg49-m2g5 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-936v-cg49-m2g5 was published on September 9, 2022 and was last updated on December 6, 2024. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.
