GHSA-qp2c-xqv6-phh6 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.1) remote code execution vulnerability in django-mdeditor. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-qp2c-xqv6-phh6 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
django-mdeditor is Missing Authentication for Critical Function
Real-World Exposure
django-mdeditorReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
All versions of the package django-mdeditor are vulnerable to Missing Authentication for Critical Function in the image upload endpoint. An attacker can upload malicious files and achieve arbitrary code execution since this endpoint lacks authentication protection and proper sanitisation of file names.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for django-mdeditor. 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.
Remediation status
No patched version of django-mdeditor has shipped for GHSA-qp2c-xqv6-phh6 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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-qp2c-xqv6-phh6 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-qp2c-xqv6-phh6. 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-qp2c-xqv6-phh6 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-qp2c-xqv6-phh6 across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
