GHSA-j6wp-3859-vxfg
MEDIUMOIDC claims not updated from Identity Provider in Pomerium
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
github.com/pomerium/pomeriumReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
Changes to the OIDC claims of a user after initial login are not reflected in policy evaluation when using allowed_idp_claims as part of policy. If using allowed_idp_claims and a user's claims are changed, Pomerium can make incorrect authorization decisions.
Patches
v0.15.6
Workarounds
- Clear data on
databrokerservice by clearing redis or restarting the in-memory databroker to force claims to be updated

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/pomerium/pomerium. 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 github.com/pomerium/pomerium to 0.15.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-j6wp-3859-vxfg 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-j6wp-3859-vxfg 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-j6wp-3859-vxfg. 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-j6wp-3859-vxfg in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-j6wp-3859-vxfg across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
