Real-World Exposure
friendsofsymfony/rest-bundleReal-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
Starting with FOSRestBundle 1.2 we switched to using willdurand/jsonp-callback-validator for validation of JSONP callbacks. However the change was implemented incorrectly validating the callback query param name, rather than its value. Anyone using the JSONP handler (which is off by default) together with FOSRestBundle 1.2.0 or 1.2.1 should update to FOSRestBundle 1.2.2.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for friendsofsymfony/rest-bundle, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update friendsofsymfony/rest-bundle to 1.2.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-p9fg-j6ww-953m 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.
