GHSA-hrgx-p36p-89q4
CRITICALPrestaShop eval injection possible if shop vulnerable to SQL injection
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.
Blast Radius
prestashop/prestashopReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
Eval injection possible if the shop is vulnerable to an SQL injection.
Patches
The problem is fixed in version 1.7.8.7
Workarounds
Delete the MySQL Smarty cache feature by removing these lines in the file config/smarty.config.inc.php lines 43-46 (PrestaShop 1.7) or 40-43 (PrestaShop 1.6):
if (Configuration::get('PS_SMARTY_CACHING_TYPE') == 'mysql') {
include _PS_CLASS_DIR_.'Smarty/SmartyCacheResourceMysql.php';
$smarty->caching_type = 'mysql';
}

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for prestashop/prestashop. 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 prestashop/prestashop to 1.7.8.7 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-hrgx-p36p-89q4 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-hrgx-p36p-89q4 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-hrgx-p36p-89q4. 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-hrgx-p36p-89q4 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-hrgx-p36p-89q4 across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
