GHSA-gx3f-hq7p-8fxv
HIGHGHSA-gx3f-hq7p-8fxv is a high-severity (CVSS 7.6) Code Injection vulnerability in org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-netflix-hystrix-dashboard. 3 public exploit references exist, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-gx3f-hq7p-8fxv is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Real-World Exposure
org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-netflix-hystrix-dashboardReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Applications using the spring-cloud-netflix-hystrix-dashboard expose a way to execute code submitted within the request URI path during the resolution of view templates. When a request is made at /hystrix/monitor;[user-provided data], the path elements following hystrix/monitor are being evaluated as SpringEL expressions, which can lead to code execution.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| ☕Maven | org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-netflix-hystrix-dashboard | all versions | 2.2.10.RELEASE |

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-netflix-hystrix-dashboard. 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 org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-netflix-hystrix-dashboard to 2.2.10.RELEASE or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-gx3f-hq7p-8fxv 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-gx3f-hq7p-8fxv 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-gx3f-hq7p-8fxv. 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-gx3f-hq7p-8fxv in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-gx3f-hq7p-8fxv across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
