Which packages are affected by GHSA-r2jw-c95q-rj29?

GHSA-r2jw-c95q-rj29 affects the following packages: cocoon (crates.io). Ecosystems affected: crates.io.

How do I fix GHSA-r2jw-c95q-rj29?

Update cocoon to 0.4.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-r2jw-c95q-rj29 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-r2jw-c95q-rj29 in my crates.io dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for cocoon. 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-r2jw-c95q-rj29 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-r2jw-c95q-rj29?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-r2jw-c95q-rj29 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-r2jw-c95q-rj29 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-r2jw-c95q-rj29 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-r2jw-c95q-rj29?

GHSA-r2jw-c95q-rj29 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.1%, placing it in the 4th 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-r2jw-c95q-rj29?

GHSA-r2jw-c95q-rj29 is classified as CWE-323 (CWE-323). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-r2jw-c95q-rj29 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-r2jw-c95q-rj29 was published on October 2, 2024 and was last updated on December 29, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-6878-6wc2-pf5h. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

Versions of the package cocoon before 0.4.0 are vulnerable to Reusing a Nonce, Key Pair in Encryption when the encrypt, wrap, and dump functions are sequentially called. An attacker can generate the same ciphertext by creating a new encrypted message with the same cocoon object.

Note: The issue does NOT affect objects created with Cocoon::new which utilizes ThreadRng.

Fix
Update cocoon to 0.4.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-r2jw-c95q-rj29 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.
