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.
How urgent is this, really
GHSA-qxvm-pcfm-qc39 plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 358,265 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.

Description
Summary
Daytona's organization role update and delete endpoints authorized the caller as an owner of the organization named in the request path, but resolved and mutated the target role by its identifier alone, without verifying the role belonged to that organization. An authenticated user who owns any organization (organizations are self-service) could therefore modify the permissions of, or delete, a role belonging to a different organization, given that role's identifier.
Impact
This is a cross-tenant broken access control (IDOR) issue affecting multi-tenant deployments, including the managed Daytona platform. Using a target role's identifier, an attacker with owner rights over their own organization could:
- Overwrite the target role's name and permission set, escalating or stripping privileges for every member and API key in the victim organization that holds that role.
- Delete the target role, removing the associated permissions from its holders.
- Observe the victim role's current permission set returned in the update response (limited information disclosure).
Exploitation requires knowledge of the target role's identifier, which is not enumerable across organizations and is not exposed to non-members through the API.
Affected versions
All versions up to and including 0.184.0.
Patches
Fixed in 0.185.0. The role update, delete, and role-assignment lookups are now scoped to the caller's organization, so a role belonging to another organization resolves to "not found" before any read or mutation. The managed Daytona platform was updated on release of 0.185.0.
Workarounds
None. Upgrade to 0.185.0. Single-organization self-hosted deployments are not exploitable, as the issue requires a second organization to target.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/daytonaio/daytona. 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/daytonaio/daytona to 0.185.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-qxvm-pcfm-qc39 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-qxvm-pcfm-qc39 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-qxvm-pcfm-qc39. 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-qxvm-pcfm-qc39 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-qxvm-pcfm-qc39 across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
