Which packages are affected by GHSA-qm6v-cg9v-53j3?

GHSA-qm6v-cg9v-53j3 affects the following packages: org.opencastproject:opencast-ingest-service-impl (Maven), org.opencastproject:opencast-ingest-service-impl (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-qm6v-cg9v-53j3?

Update org.opencastproject:opencast-ingest-service-impl to 10.14 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-qm6v-cg9v-53j3 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-qm6v-cg9v-53j3 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.opencastproject:opencast-ingest-service-impl. 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-qm6v-cg9v-53j3 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-qm6v-cg9v-53j3?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-qm6v-cg9v-53j3 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-qm6v-cg9v-53j3 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-qm6v-cg9v-53j3 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-qm6v-cg9v-53j3?

GHSA-qm6v-cg9v-53j3 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.5%, placing it in the 41th 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.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-qm6v-cg9v-53j3?

GHSA-qm6v-cg9v-53j3 is classified as Improper Authentication (CWE-287). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-qm6v-cg9v-53j3 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-qm6v-cg9v-53j3 was published on May 25, 2022 and was last updated on November 8, 2023. 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 Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Prior to Opencast 10.14 and 11.7, users could pass along URLs for files belonging to organizations other than the user's own, which Opencast would then import into the current organization, bypassing organizational barriers.

Impact

The vulnerability allows attackers to bypass organizational barriers. Attackers must have full access to Opencast's ingest REST interface, and also know internal links to resources in another organization of the same Opencast cluster.

If you do not run a multi-tenant cluster, you are not affected by this issue.

Patches

This issue is fixed in Opencast 10.14 and 11.7.
