GHSA-r5gx-c49x-h878
HIGHGHSA-r5gx-c49x-h878 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in rembg. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-r5gx-c49x-h878 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Rembg allows SSRF via /api/remove
Real-World Exposure
rembgReal-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
Rembg is a tool to remove images background. In Rembg 2.0.57 and earlier, the /api/remove endpoint takes a URL query parameter that allows an image to be fetched, processed and returned. An attacker may be able to query this endpoint to view pictures hosted on the internal network of the rembg server. This issue may lead to Information Disclosure.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for rembg. 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 rembg has shipped for GHSA-r5gx-c49x-h878 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-r5gx-c49x-h878 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-r5gx-c49x-h878. 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-r5gx-c49x-h878 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-r5gx-c49x-h878 across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
