GHSA-gcg5-86jr-f7jg is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.3) CWE-203 vulnerability in weblate. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-gcg5-86jr-f7jg is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Weblate Vulnerable to Private Translation Enumeration via Screenshot API
Real-World Exposure
weblateReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
The screenshots, tasks, and component link API allowed for the enumeration of translations in a project inaccessible to the user.
Patches
Acknowledgement
Weblate thanks Luay for reporting this vulnerability according to the organization's security issues guideline.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for weblate. 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 weblate to 5.17.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-gcg5-86jr-f7jg 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-gcg5-86jr-f7jg 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-gcg5-86jr-f7jg. 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-gcg5-86jr-f7jg in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-gcg5-86jr-f7jg across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
