GHSA-hj7x-hmf2-hc2p is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.4) Hard-coded Credentials vulnerability in github.com/goharbor/harbor. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-hj7x-hmf2-hc2p is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Harbor allows the use of the default password for web UI login
Real-World Exposure
github.com/goharbor/harborReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Use of hard coded credentials in GoHarbor Harbor version 2.15.0 and below, allows attackers to use the default password and gain access to the web UI.
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 github.com/goharbor/harbor. 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 github.com/goharbor/harbor has shipped for GHSA-hj7x-hmf2-hc2p 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-hj7x-hmf2-hc2p 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-hj7x-hmf2-hc2p. 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-hj7x-hmf2-hc2p in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-hj7x-hmf2-hc2p across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
