Which packages are affected by GHSA-9wj4-8h85-pgrw?

GHSA-9wj4-8h85-pgrw affects the following packages: octoprint (PyPI). Ecosystems affected: PyPI.

How do I fix GHSA-9wj4-8h85-pgrw?

Update octoprint to 1.11.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-9wj4-8h85-pgrw is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-9wj4-8h85-pgrw in my PyPI dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for octoprint. 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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-9wj4-8h85-pgrw 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-9wj4-8h85-pgrw?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-9wj4-8h85-pgrw is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-9wj4-8h85-pgrw actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-9wj4-8h85-pgrw 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.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-9wj4-8h85-pgrw?

GHSA-9wj4-8h85-pgrw has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 13th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-9wj4-8h85-pgrw?

GHSA-9wj4-8h85-pgrw is classified as CWE-140 (CWE-140), CWE-835 (CWE-835). These weakness types describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-9wj4-8h85-pgrw published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-9wj4-8h85-pgrw was published on June 10, 2025 and was last updated on June 10, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Impact

OctoPrint versions up until and including 1.11.1 contain a vulnerability that allows any unauthenticated attacker to send a manipulated broken multipart/form-data request to OctoPrint and through that make the web server component become unresponsive. This could be used to effectively run a denial of service attack on the OctoPrint server.

Patches

The vulnerability has been patched in version 1.11.2.

Workaround

OctoPrint administrators are once more reminded to not make OctoPrint available on hostile networks (e.g. the internet), regardless of whether this vulnerability is patched or not.

Details

The issue can be triggered by a broken multipart/form-data request lacking an end boundary to any of OctoPrint's endpoints implemented through the octoprint.server.util.tornado.UploadStorageFallbackHandler request handler. The request handler will get stuck in an endless busy loop, looking for a part of the request that will never come. As Tornado is single-threaded, that will effectively block the whole web server.

The fix adds detection of invalid requests like that and ensures they are handled gracefully with an HTTP 400 Bad Request response.
