GHSA-j6g5-p62x-58hw
Fix: vantage6/vantage6@e0f1841GHSA-j6g5-p62x-58hw is a CWE-307 vulnerability in vantage6. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-j6g5-p62x-58hw is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
vantage6 lacks brute-force protection on change password functionality
Real-World Exposure
vantage6Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
If attacker gets access to an authenticated session, they can try to brute-force the user password by using the change password functionality: they can call that route infinitely which will return the message that password is wrong until it is correct
Patches
This issue has been patched in version 4.11.0

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for vantage6. 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 vantage6 to 4.11.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-j6g5-p62x-58hw 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-j6g5-p62x-58hw 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-j6g5-p62x-58hw. 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-j6g5-p62x-58hw in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-j6g5-p62x-58hw across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
