GHSA-9p62-x3c5-hr5p
HIGHGHSA-9p62-x3c5-hr5p is a high-severity (CVSS 7.4) Path Traversal vulnerability in io.metersphere:metersphere. 1 public exploit reference exists, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-9p62-x3c5-hr5p is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Path Traversal In MeterSpere leads to upload file to any path
Real-World Exposure
io.metersphere:metersphereReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Summary
MeterSphere allow users to upload file, but not check the file name, may lead to upload file to any path if the file name in upload request is falsified.
Details
Metersphere's FileUtils.java didn't check the filePath.
public static void createFile(String filePath, byte[] fileBytes) {
File file = new File(filePath);
if (file.exists()) {
file.delete();
}
try {
File dir = file.getParentFile();
if (!dir.exists()) {
dir.mkdirs();
}
file.createNewFile();
} catch (Exception e) {
LogUtil.error(e);
}
try (InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(fileBytes); OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file)) {
final int MAX = 4096;
byte[] buf = new byte[MAX];
for (int bytesRead = in.read(buf, 0, MAX); bytesRead != -1; bytesRead = in.read(buf, 0, MAX)) {
out.write(buf, 0, bytesRead);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
LogUtil.error(e);
MSException.throwException(Translator.get("upload_fail"));
}
}
Patches
The vulnerability has been fixed in v2.5.1.
https://github.com/metersphere/metersphere/commit/3a890eeeb8a6b0887927c876a73bdb3a99a82138 : add validation for file name.
Workarounds
It is recommended to upgrade the version to v2.5.1.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for io.metersphere:metersphere. 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 io.metersphere:metersphere to 2.5.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-9p62-x3c5-hr5p 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-9p62-x3c5-hr5p 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-9p62-x3c5-hr5p. 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-9p62-x3c5-hr5p in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-9p62-x3c5-hr5p across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
