How do I fix GHSA-946c-f9w6-2c25?

Update ezsystems/ezpublish-kernel to 7.5.31 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-946c-f9w6-2c25 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-946c-f9w6-2c25 in my Packagist dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-946c-f9w6-2c25 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-946c-f9w6-2c25 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-946c-f9w6-2c25 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.

🐘ezsystems/ezpublish-kernel

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Impact

The route used for file downloads allows specifying the name of the downloaded file. This is an unintended side effect of the implementation, and means one could construct download URLs with filenames that have no relation to the actual file, which could lead to misunderstandings and confusion, and possibly other harm. As such it is a low severity vulnerability. It affects all supported versions of Ibexa DXP and eZ Platform, in installations where downloadable files exist.

Patches

The issue is fixed in all supported versions of ezsystems/ezpublish-kernel, see "Patched versions". An advisory is also published for ezsystems/ezplatform-kernel and ibexa/core, please see those repositories. Commit: https://github.com/ezsystems/ezpublish-kernel/commit/142152f9bae4c4835713df0bdfe22bc98d03f9a1

Workarounds

None, other than blocking all downloads.
