GHSA-fxff-wxxv-c2jc
HIGHGHSA-fxff-wxxv-c2jc is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) Insufficient Random Values vulnerability in pypinksign. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-fxff-wxxv-c2jc is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for pypinksign. 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.
Remediation status
No patched version of pypinksign has shipped for GHSA-fxff-wxxv-c2jc yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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-fxff-wxxv-c2jc 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-fxff-wxxv-c2jc. 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-fxff-wxxv-c2jc in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-fxff-wxxv-c2jc across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
