Which packages are affected by GHSA-gvpp-6jrj-5pqc?

GHSA-gvpp-6jrj-5pqc affects the following packages: zendframework/zend-form (Packagist), zendframework/zend-form (Packagist). Ecosystems affected: Packagist.

How do I fix GHSA-gvpp-6jrj-5pqc?

Update zendframework/zend-form to 2.2.7 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-gvpp-6jrj-5pqc is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-gvpp-6jrj-5pqc in my Packagist dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-gvpp-6jrj-5pqc 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-gvpp-6jrj-5pqc?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-gvpp-6jrj-5pqc can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many Zend Framework 2 view helpers were using the escapeHtml() view helper in order to escape HTML attributes, instead of the more appropriate escapeHtmlAttr(). In situations where user data and/or JavaScript is used to seed attributes, this can lead to potential cross site scripting (XSS) attack vectors. Vulnerable view helpers include: - All `Zend\Form` view helpers. - Most `Zend\Navigation` (aka `Zend\View\Helper\Navigation\*`) view helpers. - All "HTML Element" view helpers: `htmlFlash()`, `htmlPage()`, `htmlQuickTime()`. - `Zend\View\Helper\Gravatar`
