GHSA-c9wp-pr7f-hfqm
MEDIUMGHSA-c9wp-pr7f-hfqm is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.4) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in snipe/snipe-it. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-c9wp-pr7f-hfqm is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🐘Packagist | snipe/snipe-it | all versions | 8.1.18 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for snipe/snipe-it. 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 snipe/snipe-it to 8.1.18 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-c9wp-pr7f-hfqm 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-c9wp-pr7f-hfqm 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-c9wp-pr7f-hfqm. 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-c9wp-pr7f-hfqm in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-c9wp-pr7f-hfqm across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
