Which packages are affected by GHSA-q55c-hmpf-6h2g?

GHSA-q55c-hmpf-6h2g affects the following packages: azuracast/azuracast (Packagist). Ecosystems affected: Packagist.

How do I fix GHSA-q55c-hmpf-6h2g?

Update azuracast/azuracast to 0.18.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-q55c-hmpf-6h2g is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-q55c-hmpf-6h2g in my Packagist dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for azuracast/azuracast. 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-q55c-hmpf-6h2g 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-q55c-hmpf-6h2g?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-q55c-hmpf-6h2g 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-q55c-hmpf-6h2g actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 1 known exploit references for GHSA-q55c-hmpf-6h2g, including 1 in-the-wild exploitation observed on GitHub and other sources. Treat this as actively exploitable and prioritize patching immediately. All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-q55c-hmpf-6h2g?

GHSA-q55c-hmpf-6h2g has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.5%, placing it in the 39th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

When was GHSA-q55c-hmpf-6h2g published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-q55c-hmpf-6h2g was published on April 20, 2023 and was last updated on February 16, 2024. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-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

AzuraCast/AzuraCast prior to version 0.18.0 is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting. An issue was identified where a user who already had an AzuraCast account could update their display name to inject malicious JavaScript into the header menu of the site. In a majority of cases, this menu is only visible to the current logged-in user (pages like the Administer Users page are unaffected by this vulnerability), but if a higher-privileged administrator uses the Log In As feature to masquerade as a user, then the JavaScript injection could exfiltrate certain data. Anonymous members of the public cannot exploit this vulnerability in an AzuraCast installation, so it is primarily of concern for multi-tenant installations (i.e. resellers).
