GHSA-q6vm-xqc9-v3ff is a high-severity (CVSS 7.7) Path Traversal vulnerability in github.com/fission/fission. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-q6vm-xqc9-v3ff is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Fission: Zip Slip in pkg/utils/zip.go:Unarchive allows fetcher to write outside the destination directory
Real-World Exposure
github.com/fission/fissionReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Unarchive in pkg/utils/zip.go joined each archive entry name with the destination directory via filepath.Join and wrote the result without checking whether the resolved path stayed under the destination. A zip entry named
../../tmp/evil therefore landed at /tmp/evil. An attacker who could control a Package.Spec.Source.URL or Deployment.URL archive could induce the fetcher (running as the per-environment pod's fission-fetcher sidecar) to write
files anywhere that process could reach: into other tenants' /packages/<ns>/ directories, into mounted secret/config volumes, or into the fetcher's own binary.
Affected
- Project:
github.com/fission/fission - Versions: all up to and including v1.24.0
- Audited commit:
647c141 - Component:
pkg/utils/zip.go(Unarchive) - Configuration: default; triggered when the fetcher downloads and extracts a zip archive
Fix section (paste into the Fix / Patches field)
Fixed in v1.25.0 by:
- PR #3444 (commit
55704aca) —Unarchivenow opens anos.Rooton the destination, validates each archive entry name (rejects absolute paths and..traversal), and refuses symlink entries up front. Theos.Rootconfines everymkdir/createto the destination in the kernel.
Regression coverage: TestUnarchiveZipSlip in pkg/utils/zip_test.go exercises parent-traversal, absolute-path, and symlink entries.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/fission/fission. 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/fission/fission to 1.25.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-q6vm-xqc9-v3ff 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-q6vm-xqc9-v3ff 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-q6vm-xqc9-v3ff. 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-q6vm-xqc9-v3ff in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-q6vm-xqc9-v3ff across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
