GHSA-m5ch-gx8g-rg73
GHSA-m5ch-gx8g-rg73 is a remote code execution vulnerability in pomelo-monitor. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-m5ch-gx8g-rg73 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Remote Code Execution in pomelo-monitor
Real-World Exposure
pomelo-monitorReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects npm packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
All versions of pomelo-monitor are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution. Due to insufficient input validation an attacker could run arbitrary commands on the server thus rendering the package vulnerable to Remote Code Execution.
Recommendation
No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative module until a fix is made available.
Affected Packages

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for pomelo-monitor. 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 pomelo-monitor has shipped for GHSA-m5ch-gx8g-rg73 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-m5ch-gx8g-rg73 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-m5ch-gx8g-rg73. 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-m5ch-gx8g-rg73 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-m5ch-gx8g-rg73 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
