uniapi version 1.0.7 contained an information harvesting script.
Real-World Exposure
uniapiReal-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
uniapi version 1.0.7 introduces code that would execute on import of the module and download a script from a remote URL, and would then execute the downloaded script in a thread. The downloaded script would harvest system information and POST the information to another remote URL. This code was found in the PyPI release artifacts and was not present in the public GitHub repository.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for uniapi, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
No patched version of uniapi has shipped for GHSA-gvvw-rr8m-fj76 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-gvvw-rr8m-fj76 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-gvvw-rr8m-fj76. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
