GHSA-g7vp-j25f-h34p
MEDIUMGHSA-g7vp-j25f-h34p is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.7) CWE-321 vulnerability in github.com/lf-edge/eve. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-g7vp-j25f-h34p is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
EVE Has Partially Predetermined Vault Key

github.com/lf-edge/eveReal-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
Impact
The deriveVaultKey function calls retrieveCloudKey which always returns "foobarfoobarfoobarfoobarfoobarfo". When merged with the randomly generated 32-byte key using mergeKeys (16 bytes from each), the last 16 bytes are always "arfoobarfoobarfo". This enables an attacker with physical access to the EVE-OS device to attempt to brute force the remaining 128 bits of key.
Patches
Fixed in 7.10 and 8.12.1-lts
Workarounds
None

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/lf-edge/eve. 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/lf-edge/eve to 0.0.0-20220310190112-c0c966dc31e2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-g7vp-j25f-h34p 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-g7vp-j25f-h34p 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-g7vp-j25f-h34p. 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-g7vp-j25f-h34p in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-g7vp-j25f-h34p across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
