MikroORM is vulnerable to SQL Injection via specially crafted object
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
Summary
MikroORM versions <= 6.6.9 and <= 7.0.5 are vulnerable to SQL injection when specially crafted objects are interpreted as raw SQL query fragments.
Impact
If user-controlled input is passed directly to MikroORM query construction APIs, an attacker may inject raw SQL fragments. This can lead to SQL injection depending on the database and query being executed.
Affected usage
The issue occurs when untrusted objects are passed to ORM write APIs such as:
wrap(entity).assign(userInput)followed byem.flush()em.nativeUpdate()em.nativeInsert()em.create()followed byem.flush()
Applications that validate input types or enforce strict schema validation before passing data to MikroORM are not affected.
Fix
The vulnerability was caused by duck-typed detection of internal ORM marker properties.
The fix replaces these checks with symbol-based markers that cannot be reproduced by user input.

|---|---|---|---|
| 📦npm | @mikro-orm/core | all versions | 6.6.10 |

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @mikro-orm/core. 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 @mikro-orm/core to 6.6.10 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-gwhv-j974-6fxm 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-gwhv-j974-6fxm 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-gwhv-j974-6fxm. 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-gwhv-j974-6fxm in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-gwhv-j974-6fxm across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
