GHSA-q97c-2mh3-pgw9
MEDIUMShopware dependency configuration exposed
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.
Blast Radius
shopware/shopwareReal-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
Impact
Due to a wrong configuration in the .htaccess file, the configuration file of Javascript dependencies could be read in production environments (themes/package-lock.json). With this information, the used Shopware version might be determined by an attacker, which could be used for further attacks.
Patches
We recommend updating to the current version 5.7.18. You can get the update to 5.7.18 regularly via the Auto-Updater or directly via the release page. https://github.com/shopware5/shopware/releases/tag/v5.7.18
For older versions you can use the Security Plugin: https://store.shopware.com/en/swag575294366635f/shopware-security-plugin.html

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for shopware/shopware. 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 shopware/shopware to 5.7.18 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-q97c-2mh3-pgw9 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-q97c-2mh3-pgw9 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-q97c-2mh3-pgw9. 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-q97c-2mh3-pgw9 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-q97c-2mh3-pgw9 across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
