Real-World Exposure
github.com/gophish/gophishReal-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
Gophish <= 0.12.1 is vulnerable to Incorrect Access Control. The administrative dashboard exposes each user’s long-lived API key directly inside the rendered HTML/JavaScript of the page on every login. This makes permanent API credentials accessible to any script running in the browser context.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/gophish/gophish, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
No patched version of github.com/gophish/gophish has shipped for GHSA-9f8m-9547-2gqm yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-9f8m-9547-2gqm can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-9f8m-9547-2gqm. 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-9f8m-9547-2gqm in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-9f8m-9547-2gqm across Go dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
