GHSA-fpj4-9qhx-5m6m
MEDIUMGHSA-fpj4-9qhx-5m6m is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.3) CWE-285 vulnerability in DotNetNuke.Core. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-fpj4-9qhx-5m6m is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
DNN: Force Friend Request Acceptance
Blast Radius
DotNetNuke.CoreReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects NuGet packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
DNN (formerly DotNetNuke) is an open-source web content management platform (CMS) in the Microsoft ecosystem. Starting in version 6.0.0 and prior to version 10.2.2, in the friends feature, a user could craft a request that would force the acceptance of a friend request on another user. Version 10.2.2 patches the issue.

|---|---|---|---|
| .NETNuGet | DotNetNuke.Core | ≥ 6.0.0&&< 10.2.2 | 10.2.2 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for DotNetNuke.Core. 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 DotNetNuke.Core to 10.2.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-fpj4-9qhx-5m6m 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-fpj4-9qhx-5m6m 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-fpj4-9qhx-5m6m. 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-fpj4-9qhx-5m6m in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-fpj4-9qhx-5m6m across NuGet dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
