GHSA-hgp8-w8fj-r4cm is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.5) CWE-1284 vulnerability in tooljet. 1 public exploit reference exists, so weaponization risk is real. A fix is available for tooljet — see the affected versions and patch details below.
ToolJet is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS)
Exploitation Status
Proof-of-concept exploit code exists
- CISA’s SSVC triage found public proof-of-concept exploit code for this CVE, though no confirmed active exploitation.

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.
How urgent is this, really
GHSA-hgp8-w8fj-r4cm plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 379,145 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, a proxy for how much of the ecosystem is exposed.
tooljetnpmDescription
ToolJet/ToolJet placed no limit on the file size for user avatars. This could cause a denial of service if too many users upload large files. This is fixed in commit 01cd3f0464747973ec329e9fb1ea12743d3235cc in version 1.27.0.
tooljet is no longer listed on npmjs.com but was listed on npmjs.com in the past. This advisory is maintained for historical completeness.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for tooljet, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update tooljet to 1.27.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-hgp8-w8fj-r4cm 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-hgp8-w8fj-r4cm can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-hgp8-w8fj-r4cm. 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-hgp8-w8fj-r4cm in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-hgp8-w8fj-r4cm across npm dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
