How do I fix GHSA-hgjh-9rj2-g67j?

Update org.springframework:spring-web to 6.1.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-hgjh-9rj2-g67j is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-hgjh-9rj2-g67j in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.springframework:spring-web. 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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-hgjh-9rj2-g67j if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-hgjh-9rj2-g67j?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-hgjh-9rj2-g67j is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-hgjh-9rj2-g67j actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-hgjh-9rj2-g67j yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-hgjh-9rj2-g67j?

GHSA-hgjh-9rj2-g67j has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 2.6%, placing it in the 83th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-hgjh-9rj2-g67j?

GHSA-hgjh-9rj2-g67j is classified as Open Redirect (CWE-601). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-hgjh-9rj2-g67j published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-hgjh-9rj2-g67j was published on March 16, 2024 and was last updated on February 4, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Applications that use UriComponentsBuilder in Spring Framework to parse an externally provided URL (e.g. through a query parameter) AND perform validation checks on the host of the parsed URL may be vulnerable to a open redirect https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/601.html attack or to a SSRF attack if the URL is used after passing validation checks.

This is the same as CVE-2024-22243 https://spring.io/security/cve-2024-22243, but with different input.
