GHSA-m2fp-c79h-rr79
CRITICALGHSA-m2fp-c79h-rr79 is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.8) vulnerability in tensorplow. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-m2fp-c79h-rr79 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Malicious Package in tensorplow
Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, a proxy for how much of the ecosystem is exposed.
tensorplownpmDescription
All versions of tensorplow contain malicious code as a preinstall script. When installed, the package calls home to a Command and Control server to execute arbitrary commands.
Recommendation
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer.
The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for tensorplow. 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 tensorplow has shipped for GHSA-m2fp-c79h-rr79 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-m2fp-c79h-rr79 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-m2fp-c79h-rr79. 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-m2fp-c79h-rr79 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-m2fp-c79h-rr79 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
