GHSA-q6h7-4qgw-2j9p
HIGHGHSA-q6h7-4qgw-2j9p is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in github.com/hashicorp/consul. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-q6h7-4qgw-2j9p is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Description
A vulnerability was identified in Consul and Consul Enterprise (“Consul”) such that HTTP health check endpoints returning an HTTP redirect may be abused as a vector for server-side request forgery (SSRF). This vulnerability, CVE-2022-29153, was fixed in Consul 1.9.17, 1.10.10, and 1.11.5.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/hashicorp/consul. 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 github.com/hashicorp/consul to 1.9.17 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-q6h7-4qgw-2j9p 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-q6h7-4qgw-2j9p 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-q6h7-4qgw-2j9p. 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-q6h7-4qgw-2j9p in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-q6h7-4qgw-2j9p across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
