GHSA-q324-q795-2q5p
Path traversal when using `preview-docs` when working dir contains files with question mark `?` in name
Blast Radius
@redocly/openapi-cliReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects npm packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
preview-docs command allows path traversal if current working dir contains files with question mark ? in name and attacker knows the name.
Patches
It was patched starting from 1.0.0-beta.59
Workarounds
Do not run openapi-cli preview-docs command in the folder which contains files with question mark ? in name.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @redocly/openapi-cli. 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 @redocly/openapi-cli to 1.0.0-beta.59 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-q324-q795-2q5p 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-q324-q795-2q5p 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-q324-q795-2q5p. 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-q324-q795-2q5p in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-q324-q795-2q5p across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
