GHSA-c7rm-w2hj-x8g3
HIGHGHSA-c7rm-w2hj-x8g3 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) Improper Input Validation vulnerability in illuminate/database. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-c7rm-w2hj-x8g3 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Real-World Exposure
illuminate/database🐘illuminate/database🐘illuminate/databaseReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
An issue was discovered in Laravel before 6.18.34 and 7.x before 7.23.2. Unvalidated values are saved to the database component in some situations in which table names are stripped during a mass assignment.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for illuminate/database. 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
No patched version of illuminate/database has shipped for GHSA-c7rm-w2hj-x8g3 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
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-c7rm-w2hj-x8g3 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-c7rm-w2hj-x8g3. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
