GHSA-m8j6-rc5x-wv36
MEDIUMnono-py's policy JSON accepts unknown security fields
Blast Radius
nono-pyReal-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
Summary
nono-py policy handling could fail open in two ways. First, resolving a policy-derived ProxyConfig did not automatically enforce CapabilitySet.proxy_only, allowing sandboxed children to bypass a resolved domain allowlist by using direct network access. Second, policy JSON accepted unknown security-sensitive fields, so misspelled or unsupported restrictions could be silently ignored.
Impact
A sandboxed child may receive broader network access than the policy author intended. This can allow outbound requests outside the configured proxy allowlist and may expose sensitive data depending on the execution environment and workload.
Older-kernel note
On Linux kernels without Landlock ABI v4 network rules, patched versions continue to support proxy-only enforcement through the seccomp supervisor fallback introduced in 807fb4b. Users on older kernels should ensure policy-resolved proxy configurations are coupled to CapabilitySet.proxy_only(proxy); merely injecting proxy environment variables is not sufficient.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for nono-py. 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 nono-py to 0.10.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-m8j6-rc5x-wv36 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-m8j6-rc5x-wv36 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-m8j6-rc5x-wv36. 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-m8j6-rc5x-wv36 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-m8j6-rc5x-wv36 across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
