How severe is GHSA-phwj-fgch-xvrj?

GHSA-phwj-fgch-xvrj has a CVSS score of 6.8/10, rated MEDIUM. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-phwj-fgch-xvrj?

GHSA-phwj-fgch-xvrj affects the following packages: snipe/snipe-it (Packagist). Ecosystems affected: Packagist.

How do I fix GHSA-phwj-fgch-xvrj?

Update snipe/snipe-it to 8.1.18 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-phwj-fgch-xvrj is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-phwj-fgch-xvrj in my Packagist dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for snipe/snipe-it. 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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-phwj-fgch-xvrj if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-phwj-fgch-xvrj?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-phwj-fgch-xvrj is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-phwj-fgch-xvrj actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-phwj-fgch-xvrj yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-phwj-fgch-xvrj?

GHSA-phwj-fgch-xvrj is classified as Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CWE-502). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-phwj-fgch-xvrj published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-phwj-fgch-xvrj was published on September 19, 2025 and was last updated on September 19, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.
