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

How do I mitigate GHSA-9763-4f94-gfch 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.

How does O3 Security protect against GHSA-9763-4f94-gfch?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-9763-4f94-gfch can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

🐹github.com/cloudflare/circl

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

Description

Impact

On some platforms, when an attacker can time decapsulation of Kyber on forged cipher texts, they could possibly learn (parts of) the secret key.

Does not apply to ephemeral usage, such as when used in the regular way in TLS.

Patches

Patched in 1.3.7.
