GHSA-j67m-jg9p-ppg4
CRITICALGHSA-j67m-jg9p-ppg4 is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.8) vulnerability in ns-sha3. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-j67m-jg9p-ppg4 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Malicious Package in ns-sha3
Real-World Exposure
ns-sha3Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects npm packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Version 0.8.0 contained malicious code. The package targeted the Ethereum cryptocurrency and performed transactions to wallets not controlled by the user.
Recommendation
Remove the package from your environment. Ensure no Ethereum funds were compromised.
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 ns-sha3. 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 ns-sha3 has shipped for GHSA-j67m-jg9p-ppg4 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-j67m-jg9p-ppg4 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-j67m-jg9p-ppg4. 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-j67m-jg9p-ppg4 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-j67m-jg9p-ppg4 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
