Description

CVRF-CSAF-Converter before 1.0.0-rc2 resolves XML External Entities (XXE). This leads to the inclusion of arbitrary (local) file content into the generated output document. An attacker can exploit this to disclose information from the system running the converter.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for cvrf2csaf, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update cvrf2csaf to 1.0.0rc2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-m8gq-83gh-v42v is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.
