Description
This security advisory fixes an information disclosure vulnerability in the legacy admin content tree menu. If a view has been disabled in site.ini [SiteAccessRules] Rules, and an attacker accesses the backend with the URL to this module, then the tree menu may be displayed. Since the tree menu may contain hidden items, this may lead to information disclosure. We recommend that you install this Security Update as soon as possible.
To install, use Composer to update to one of the "Resolving versions" mentioned above, or apply this patch manually: https://github.com/ezsystems/ezpublish-legacy/commit/a4a0470f8d80f012fe14e4f8ab11c7d14375986c

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for ezsystems/ezpublish-legacy, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update ezsystems/ezpublish-legacy to 2017.8.1.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-cc2j-92jq-wgjg 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-cc2j-92jq-wgjg can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-cc2j-92jq-wgjg. 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-cc2j-92jq-wgjg in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-cc2j-92jq-wgjg across Packagist dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
