GHSA-h7h7-6mx3-r89v
Fyrox has unsound usages of `Vec::from_raw_parts`
Blast Radius
fyrox-coreReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects crates.io packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
The library provides a public safe API transmute_vec_as_bytes, which incorrectly assumes that any generic type T could have stable layout, causing to uninitialized memory exposure if the users pass any types with padding bytes as T and cast it to u8 pointer.
In the issue, we develop a PoC to show passing struct type to transmute_vec_as_bytes could lead to undefined behavior with Vec::from_raw_parts.
The developers provide a patch by changing trait of Copy to Pod, which can make sure T should be plain data. This was patched in the latest version of master branch, but still not on the latest release (0.28.1).

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for fyrox-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 fyrox-core to 0.36 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-h7h7-6mx3-r89v 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-h7h7-6mx3-r89v 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-h7h7-6mx3-r89v. 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-h7h7-6mx3-r89v in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-h7h7-6mx3-r89v across crates.io dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
