How severe is GHSA-fx4f-mhw4-qm7j?

No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-fx4f-mhw4-qm7j yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-fx4f-mhw4-qm7j?

GHSA-fx4f-mhw4-qm7j affects the following packages: vibeio-http (crates.io). Ecosystems affected: crates.io.

How do I fix GHSA-fx4f-mhw4-qm7j?

Update vibeio-http to 0.3.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-fx4f-mhw4-qm7j is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-fx4f-mhw4-qm7j in my crates.io dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for vibeio-http, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-fx4f-mhw4-qm7j if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Constrain what reaches the vulnerable code: limit the size and shape of untrusted input, isolate the affected component in a sandboxed or least-privileged process, and enable the platform's memory-safety mitigations (ASLR, stack protector, hardened allocator) so an out-of-bounds access is more likely to fail closed than to be exploitable.

Is GHSA-fx4f-mhw4-qm7j actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-fx4f-mhw4-qm7j yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

When was GHSA-fx4f-mhw4-qm7j published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-fx4f-mhw4-qm7j was published on August 24, 2026 and was last updated on August 25, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects crates.io packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

When using the affected versions of the vibeio-http crate, an attacker could craft a malicious HTTP/1.x request with a large chunk length (between usize::MAX - 1 and usize::MAX inclusive) and send it, causing the server to crash (integer overflow panic in debug builds, split_to out of bounds panic in release builds).

This was fixed in vibeio-http 0.3.2 by erroring on the chunk length if it exceeds usize::MAX - 2 (using checked_add() instead of + operator), preventing integer overflow.
