GHSA-g8r3-5hwf-qp96
HIGHGHSA-g8r3-5hwf-qp96 is a high-severity (CVSS 8.1) vulnerability in com.oviva.telematik:epa4all-client. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-g8r3-5hwf-qp96 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
epa4all-client has a VAU Signature bypass
Blast Radius
com.oviva.telematik:epa4all-clientReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
In SignedPublicKeysTrustValidatorImpl.isTrusted(), the ECDSA signature verification at line 45 discards the boolean return value of Signature.verify(). The method performs certificate chain validation, OCSP check, and signature algorithm setup, but never checks whether the signature actually matches. For any structurally valid signature, it returns true.
Patches
Patched in #34.
Workarounds
None.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.oviva.telematik:epa4all-client. 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 com.oviva.telematik:epa4all-client to 1.2.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-g8r3-5hwf-qp96 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-g8r3-5hwf-qp96 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-g8r3-5hwf-qp96. 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-g8r3-5hwf-qp96 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-g8r3-5hwf-qp96 across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
