GHSA-hhmf-7rgg-gcw5
HIGHGHSA-hhmf-7rgg-gcw5 is a high-severity (CVSS 8.8) SQL Injection vulnerability in plone. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-hhmf-7rgg-gcw5 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Plone SQL Injection Vulnerability
Blast Radius
ploneReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
SQL Injection in DTML or in connection objects in Plone 4.0 through 5.2.1 allows users to perform unwanted SQL queries. (This is a problem in Zope.)
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for plone. 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.
Remediation status
No patched version of plone has shipped for GHSA-hhmf-7rgg-gcw5 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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-hhmf-7rgg-gcw5 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-hhmf-7rgg-gcw5. 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-hhmf-7rgg-gcw5 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-hhmf-7rgg-gcw5 across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
