CRITICALOrchid Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability leads to Remote Code Execution
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.
Blast Radius
orchid/platformReal-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
Orchid is a Laravel package that allows application development of back-office applications, admin/user panels, and dashboards.
Impact
A vulnerability present starting in version 14.0.0-alpha4 and prior to version 14.5.0 is related to the deserialization of untrusted data from the _state query parameter, which can result in remote code execution. This vulnerability is related to the deserialization of untrusted data from the _state query parameter, which can result in remote code execution.
Patches
The issue has been addressed in version 14.5.0. Users are advised to upgrade their software to this version or any subsequent versions that include the patch. There are no known workarounds.
Workarounds
In this case, it is recommended for users to upgrade to the patched version rather than relying on workarounds. Upgrading to the fixed version ensures that the vulnerability is no longer present and provides the best protection against remote code execution
References
For more detailed information about this workaround and its effectiveness, users should consult the support channels provided by the software or system developer. They can provide specific guidance on implementing this workaround and any potential limitations or caveats associated with it.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for orchid/platform. 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 orchid/platform to 14.5.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-ph6g-p72v-pc3p 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-ph6g-p72v-pc3p 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-ph6g-p72v-pc3p. 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-ph6g-p72v-pc3p in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-ph6g-p72v-pc3p across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
