GHSA-p46p-7pmj-m34f
MEDIUMGHSA-p46p-7pmj-m34f is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.5) vulnerability in cockpit-hq/cockpit. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-p46p-7pmj-m34f is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Cockpit is vulnerable to directory traversal
Real-World Exposure
cockpit-hq/cockpitReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Cockpit 2.13.5 and earlier is vulnerable to directory traversal via the Buckets component. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers to write files to arbitrary locations within the uploads directory or overwrite assets with malicious versions.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🐘Packagist | cockpit-hq/cockpit | all versions | 2.14.0 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for cockpit-hq/cockpit. 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 cockpit-hq/cockpit to 2.14.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-p46p-7pmj-m34f 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-p46p-7pmj-m34f 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-p46p-7pmj-m34f. 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-p46p-7pmj-m34f in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-p46p-7pmj-m34f across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
