GHSA-hqjg-pww4-pcgq
GHSA-hqjg-pww4-pcgq is a Path Traversal vulnerability in @google/clasp. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-hqjg-pww4-pcgq is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
@google/clasp vulnerable to unsafe path traversal cloning or pulling a malicious script

Weekly download volume for affected packages — a proxy for how broadly this vulnerability is deployed.
@google/claspnpmDescription
Impact
Allows an attacker to perform a "Path Traversal" attack to modify files outside the projects directory, potentially allowing for running attacker code on the developer's machine.
Patches
Fixed in version 3.2.0
Workarounds
- Only clone or pull scripts from trusted sources
- Review the output of the
pullandclonecommands to verify only expected project files are modified

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @google/clasp. 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 @google/clasp to 3.2.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-hqjg-pww4-pcgq 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-hqjg-pww4-pcgq 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-hqjg-pww4-pcgq. 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-hqjg-pww4-pcgq in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-hqjg-pww4-pcgq across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
