GHSA-jxqv-jcvh-7gr4 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) CWE-203 vulnerability in github.com/runatlantis/atlantis. 2 public exploit references exist, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-jxqv-jcvh-7gr4 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Atlantis Events vulnerable to Timing Attack
Real-World Exposure
github.com/runatlantis/atlantisReal-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
The package github.com/runatlantis/atlantis/server/controllers/events before 0.19.7 is vulnerable to Timing Attack in the webhook event validator code, which does not use a constant-time comparison function to validate the webhook secret. It can allow an attacker to recover this secret as an attacker and then forge webhook events.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🐹Go | github.com/runatlantis/atlantis | all versions | 0.19.7 |

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/runatlantis/atlantis. 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/runatlantis/atlantis to 0.19.7 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-jxqv-jcvh-7gr4 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-jxqv-jcvh-7gr4 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-jxqv-jcvh-7gr4. 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-jxqv-jcvh-7gr4 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-jxqv-jcvh-7gr4 across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
