GHSA-hrww-x3fq-xcvh
MEDIUMGHSA-hrww-x3fq-xcvh is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.4) CWE-284 vulnerability in Umbraco.Cms. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-hrww-x3fq-xcvh is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Umbraco CMS Improper Access Control vulnerability
Blast Radius
Umbraco.CmsReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects NuGet packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
As an authenticated user one can access a few unintended endpoints
Explanation of the vulnerability
Few endpoints in Umbraco Management API was not protected by a specific section. These just required you to be authenticated. Due to the fact that a member is also just authenticated, it was possible to get info from these endpoints using a member token.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| .NETNuGet | Umbraco.Cms | ≥ 14.0.0&&< 14.1.2 | 14.1.2 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for Umbraco.Cms. 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 Umbraco.Cms to 14.1.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-hrww-x3fq-xcvh 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-hrww-x3fq-xcvh 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-hrww-x3fq-xcvh. 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-hrww-x3fq-xcvh in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-hrww-x3fq-xcvh across NuGet dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
