GHSA-ff24-4prj-gpmj
HIGHGHSA-ff24-4prj-gpmj is a high-severity (CVSS 7.2) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in github.com/getarcaneapp/arcane/backend. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-ff24-4prj-gpmj is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
Real-World Exposure
github.com/getarcaneapp/arcane/backendReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Summary
The /api/templates/fetch endpoint accepts a caller-supplied url parameter and performs a server-side HTTP GET request to that URL without authentication and without URL scheme or host validation. The server's response is returned directly to the caller. type. This constitutes an unauthenticated SSRF vulnerability affecting any publicly reachable Arcane instance.
Details
- No allowlist or denylist of destination hosts/CIDRs
- No requirement for the caller to be authenticated
Response handling produces four distinct outcomes observable by the caller:
- Valid JSON targets return a fully reflected response body if the returned fields fit the expected internal struct
- Non-JSON HTTP 200 responses produce an error leaking the first byte of the response (
"Invalid JSON response: invalid character '<'...") - Non-200 responses leak the HTTP status code
- TCP-level failures distinguish between closed ports (
"connection refused") and filtered ones ("i/o timeout")
PoC
Send an unauthenticated GET request to /api/templates/fetch, passing the target URL as the url query parameter.
Impact
- Unauthenticated port scanning of internal networks
- Access to internal HTTP services not exposed to the public internet (service discovery endpoints, internal dashboards, Kubernetes API)

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/getarcaneapp/arcane/backend. 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 github.com/getarcaneapp/arcane/backend to 1.17.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-ff24-4prj-gpmj 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-ff24-4prj-gpmj 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-ff24-4prj-gpmj. 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-ff24-4prj-gpmj in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-ff24-4prj-gpmj across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
