GHSA-c7ph-f7jm-xv4w — pgp
GHSA-c7ph-f7jm-xv4w is a security vulnerability in pgp. A fix is available for pgp — see the affected versions and patch details below.
rPGP's integrity protection of encrypted data was not always checked
Real-World Exposure
pgpReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects crates.io packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Summary
For some messages, rPGP returned incorrectly decrypted data without signaling that integrity protection was invalid.
Details
When decrypting SEIPD (Symmetrically Encrypted and Integrity Protected Data Packet), rPGP previously did not under all circumstances report the absence of valid integrity protection to callers of the library.
Impact
While the resulting invalid decryption output is not attacker controlled, its contents may be a security concern if an attacker can gain access to it.
Attribution
Discovered internally in the course of rPGP development work.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for pgp, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update pgp to 0.19.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-c7ph-f7jm-xv4w 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-c7ph-f7jm-xv4w can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-c7ph-f7jm-xv4w. 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-c7ph-f7jm-xv4w in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-c7ph-f7jm-xv4w across crates.io dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
