GHSA-m3g7-wrrq-v5c8
MEDIUMGHSA-m3g7-wrrq-v5c8 is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.3) CWE-614 vulnerability in pyload-ng. 1 public exploit reference exists, so weaponization risk is real. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-m3g7-wrrq-v5c8 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Pyload contains Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute
Blast Radius
pyload-ngReal-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
Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute in GitHub repository pyload/pyload prior to 0.5.0b3.dev32. The Secure attribute for sensitive cookies in HTTPS sessions is not set, which could cause the user agent to send those cookies in plaintext over an HTTP session. This issue is patched in version 0.5.0b3.dev32.
Affected Packages

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for pyload-ng. 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 pyload-ng to 0.5.0b3.dev32 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-m3g7-wrrq-v5c8 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-m3g7-wrrq-v5c8 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-m3g7-wrrq-v5c8. 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-m3g7-wrrq-v5c8 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-m3g7-wrrq-v5c8 across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
