GHSA-mj9r-wwm8-7q52 is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.7) Open Redirect vulnerability in github.com/AndrewBurian/powermux. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-mj9r-wwm8-7q52 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Real-World Exposure
github.com/AndrewBurian/powermuxReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
Attackers may be able to craft phishing links and other open redirects by exploiting the trailing slash redirection feature. This may lead to users being redirected to untrusted sites after following an attacker crafted link.
Patches
The issue is resolved in v1.1.1
Workarounds
There are no existing workarounds.
You may detect attempts to craft urls that exploit this feature by looking for request paths containing pairs of forward slashes in sequence combined with a trailing slash e.g. https://example.com//foo/
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🐹Go | github.com/AndrewBurian/powermux | all versions | 1.1.1 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/AndrewBurian/powermux. 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 github.com/AndrewBurian/powermux to 1.1.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-mj9r-wwm8-7q52 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-mj9r-wwm8-7q52 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-mj9r-wwm8-7q52. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
