No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-gfgm-chr3-x6px yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-gfgm-chr3-x6px?

GHSA-gfgm-chr3-x6px affects the following packages: prettytable-rs (crates.io). Ecosystems affected: crates.io.

How do I fix GHSA-gfgm-chr3-x6px?

Update prettytable-rs to 0.10.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-gfgm-chr3-x6px is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-gfgm-chr3-x6px in my crates.io dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for prettytable-rs, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-gfgm-chr3-x6px 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-gfgm-chr3-x6px?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-gfgm-chr3-x6px can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-gfgm-chr3-x6px actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-gfgm-chr3-x6px 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.

When was GHSA-gfgm-chr3-x6px published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-gfgm-chr3-x6px was published on December 30, 2022 and was last updated on November 8, 2023. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

🦀prettytable-rs

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects crates.io packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

In function Table::as_ref, a reference of vector is force cast to slice. There are multiple problems here:

To guarantee the size is correct, we have to first do Vec::shrink_to_fit. The function requires a mutable reference, so we have to force cast from immutable to mutable, which is undefined behavior (UB).
Even if (1) is sound, &Vec<T> and &[T] still might not have the same layout. Treating them equally may lead to undefinted behavior (UB).

Open-source dependency

Detect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for prettytable-rs, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update prettytable-rs to 0.10.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-gfgm-chr3-x6px is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
