github.com/k8sgpt-ai/k8sgptReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Summary
In the auto-remediation pipeline, object_to_execution.go was deserializing the AI-generated YAML directly into a Deployment object, but there was lack of validation from the original Deployment object.
Details
This issue was fixed after coordination with Alex Jones.
PoC
To minimize the impact, the PoC of this vulnerability wasn't released, but was shared with the maintainers.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/k8sgpt-ai/k8sgpt, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/k8sgpt-ai/k8sgpt to 0.4.32 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-rp7v-4384-hfrp 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-rp7v-4384-hfrp can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-rp7v-4384-hfrp. 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-rp7v-4384-hfrp in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-rp7v-4384-hfrp across Go dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
