Fix: moggers87/django-sendfile2@4c37085GHSA-pcjh-6r5h-r92r is a security vulnerability in django-sendfile2. A fix is available for django-sendfile2 — see the affected versions and patch details below.
django-sendfile2 before 0.7.0 contains reflected file download vulnerability
Real-World Exposure
django-sendfile2Real-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
Similar to CVE-2022-36359 for Django, django-sendfile2 did not protect against a reflected file download attack in version 0.6.1 and earlier. If the file name used by django-sendfile2 was derived from user input, then it would be possible to perform a such an attack. A new version of django-sendfile2 will be released. Either download django-sendfile2 0.7.0 as a workaround or sanitize user input yourself, using Django's patch as a template: https://github.com/django/django/commit/bd062445cffd3f6cc6dcd20d13e2abed818fa173

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for django-sendfile2, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update django-sendfile2 to 0.7.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-pcjh-6r5h-r92r 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-pcjh-6r5h-r92r can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-pcjh-6r5h-r92r. 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-pcjh-6r5h-r92r in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-pcjh-6r5h-r92r across PyPI dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
