GHSA-pxg5-h34r-7q8p
HIGHGeoNode vulnerable to SSRF Bypass to return internal host data
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.

Description
A SSRF vulnerability exists, bypassing existing controls on the software. This can allow a user to request internal services for a full read SSRF, returning any data from the internal network.
the application is using a whitelist, but the whitelist can be bypassed with @ and encoded value of @ (%40) GET /proxy/?url=http://development.demo.geonode.org%40geoserver:8080/geoserver/web This will trick the application that the first host is a whitelisted address, but the browser will use @ or %40 as a credential to the host geoserver on port 8080, this will return the data to that host on the response.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for geonode. 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 geonode to 4.1.3.post1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-pxg5-h34r-7q8p 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-pxg5-h34r-7q8p 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-pxg5-h34r-7q8p. 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-pxg5-h34r-7q8p in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-pxg5-h34r-7q8p across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
