How do I fix GHSA-g4mf-96x5-5m2c?

Update cloudinary to 2.7.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-g4mf-96x5-5m2c is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-g4mf-96x5-5m2c in my npm dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for cloudinary. 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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-g4mf-96x5-5m2c if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-g4mf-96x5-5m2c?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-g4mf-96x5-5m2c is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-g4mf-96x5-5m2c actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-g4mf-96x5-5m2c 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.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-g4mf-96x5-5m2c?

GHSA-g4mf-96x5-5m2c has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 23th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

Description

Versions of the package cloudinary before 2.7.0 are vulnerable to Arbitrary Argument Injection due to improper parsing of parameter values containing an ampersand. An attacker can inject additional, unintended parameters. This could lead to a variety of malicious outcomes, such as bypassing security checks, altering data, or manipulating the application's behavior.

Note: Following our established security policy, we attempted to contact the maintainer regarding this vulnerability, but haven't received a response.
