GHSA-9vph-2hvm-x66g
MEDIUMCube Core is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) via crafted request
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

@cubejs-backend/server-corenpmDescription
Impact
It is possible to make the entire Cube API unavailable by submitting a specially crafted request to a Cube API endpoint.
Affected Versions:
>= 1.1.17
Mitigation:
Upgrade to a patched version:
- 1.5.13 and later (regular release)
- 1.4.2 (active LTS release)

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @cubejs-backend/server-core. 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 @cubejs-backend/server-core to 1.4.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-9vph-2hvm-x66g 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-9vph-2hvm-x66g 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-9vph-2hvm-x66g. 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-9vph-2hvm-x66g in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-9vph-2hvm-x66g across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
