Description
Summary
https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-mc8h-8q98-g5hr https://github.com/XAMPPRocky/remove_dir_all/commit/7247a8b6ee59fc99bbb69ca6b3ca4bfd8c809ead
tempfile v0.4.26 ships with affected remove_dir_all v0.5.3 and so blocks my deployment of v12 to openSUSE distribution because it imposes a clean cargo audit
Updating tempfile is warranted
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🦀crates.io | topgrade | all versions | 12.0.1 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for topgrade. 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 topgrade to 12.0.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-f2wx-xjfw-xjv6 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-f2wx-xjfw-xjv6 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-f2wx-xjfw-xjv6. 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-f2wx-xjfw-xjv6 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-f2wx-xjfw-xjv6 across crates.io dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
