EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
How urgent is this, really
GHSA-p58c-q354-6c4f plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 377,636 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.
Real-World Exposure

Description
Local file inclusion (LFI) and server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities in pgAdmin 4 LLM API configuration endpoints.
User-supplied api_key_file and api_url preferences were passed to the LLM provider clients without validation. An authenticated user could read arbitrary server-side files by pointing api_key_file at any path readable by the pgAdmin process, or coerce pgAdmin into making requests to internal targets (e.g. cloud metadata services such as 169.254.169.254) by setting api_url, exploiting the chat path and model-list endpoints.
Fix restricts api_key_file to the user's private storage (server mode) or home directory (desktop mode), enforces a printable-ASCII key shape and a 1024-byte read cap, and gates api_url against a configurable allow-list (config.ALLOWED_LLM_API_URLS) at every entry point.
This issue affects pgAdmin 4: before 9.15.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for pgadmin4, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update pgadmin4 to 9.15 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-p58c-q354-6c4f 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-p58c-q354-6c4f can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-p58c-q354-6c4f. 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-p58c-q354-6c4f in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-p58c-q354-6c4f across PyPI dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
