Description
Description
There have been two upstream security advisories and associated patches published under ISA-2025-001 and ISA-2025-002.
ISA-2025-001 affects the IBC-Go package., where non-deterministic JSON unmarshalling of IBC Acknowledgements can result in a chain halt.
ISA-2025-002 affects the Cosmos SDK package, where x/group can halt when erroring in EndBlocker.
Impact
If unaddressed, this could result in a chain halt.
Patches
Validators, full nodes, and IBC relayers should upgrade to cheqd-node v3.1.8. This upgrade does not require a software upgrade proposal on-chain and is meant to be non state-breaking.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🐹Go | github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node | all versions | 3.1.8 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node. 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 github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node to 3.1.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-h2rp-8vpx-q9r4 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-h2rp-8vpx-q9r4 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-h2rp-8vpx-q9r4. 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-h2rp-8vpx-q9r4 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-h2rp-8vpx-q9r4 across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
