GHSA-93f3-23rq-pjfp
MEDIUMGHSA-93f3-23rq-pjfp is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.4) CWE-532 vulnerability in npm. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-93f3-23rq-pjfp is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
npm CLI exposing sensitive information through logs
Blast Radius
npmReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects npm packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.14.6 are vulnerable to an information exposure vulnerability through log files. The CLI supports URLs like <protocol>://[<user>[:<password>]@]<hostname>[:<port>][:][/]<path>. The password value is not redacted and is printed to stdout and also to any generated log files.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for npm. 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 npm to 6.14.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-93f3-23rq-pjfp 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-93f3-23rq-pjfp 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-93f3-23rq-pjfp. 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-93f3-23rq-pjfp in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-93f3-23rq-pjfp across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
