Description
Summary
There is no authentication of any kind.
Details
TLS is implemented, the tunnel between the client and server is secure, however once data is on the server, it's free to be read by any adversaries.
On the client side : https://github.com/hydraide/hydraide/blob/main/sdk/go/hydraidego/client/client.go#L221 It should be using a TLS Config with RootCAs and Certificates, currently RootCAs only (under NewClientTLSFromFile)
And on the server side, there should be ClientCAs and ClientAuth filled.
PoC
To bypass as is, the simplest way is to take the client and modify the code as such :
Modified from https://github.com/hydraide/hydraide/blob/main/sdk/go/hydraidego/client/client.go#L209
// hostOnly := strings.Split(server.Host, ":")[0]
// creds, certErr := credentials.NewClientTLSFromFile(server.CertFilePath, hostOnly)
// if certErr != nil {
// slog.Error("error while loading TLS credentials: ", "error", certErr, "server", server.Host, "fromIsland", server.FromIsland, "toIsland", server.ToIsland)
// errorMessages = append(errorMessages, certErr)
// }
var opts []grpc.DialOption
tlsConfig := &tls.Config{
InsecureSkipVerify: true,
}
creds := credentials.NewTLS(tlsConfig)
opts = append(opts, grpc.WithTransportCredentials(creds))
Impact
It impacts everyone who think there is any kind of authentication.
Resolution
This vulnerability has been fully fixed in server/v2.2.1 together with hydraidectl/v0.2.1.
All users are strongly advised to upgrade:
- Update to hydraidectl v0.2.1
- Re-initialize server instances with hydraidectl init into a new folder. This generates the required certificate files, downloads the latest binaries, and sets up the necessary environment variables.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/hydraide/hydraide. 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/hydraide/hydraide to 2.2.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-qp7j-x725-g67f 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-qp7j-x725-g67f 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-qp7j-x725-g67f. 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-qp7j-x725-g67f in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-qp7j-x725-g67f across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
