How do I fix GHSA-v469-7wp6-7cvp?

Update github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 to 8.0.0-20250122165010-4ed702ccff4e or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-v469-7wp6-7cvp is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-v469-7wp6-7cvp in my Go dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8. 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-v469-7wp6-7cvp 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-v469-7wp6-7cvp?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-v469-7wp6-7cvp 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-v469-7wp6-7cvp actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-v469-7wp6-7cvp 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-v469-7wp6-7cvp?

GHSA-v469-7wp6-7cvp has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.6%, placing it in the 43th 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-v469-7wp6-7cvp?

GHSA-v469-7wp6-7cvp is classified as Path Traversal (CWE-22). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-v469-7wp6-7cvp published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-v469-7wp6-7cvp was published on February 24, 2025 and was last updated on February 4, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Mattermost versions 10.4.x <= 10.4.1, 9.11.x <= 9.11.7, 10.3.x <= 10.3.2, 10.2.x <= 10.2.2 fail to properly validate input when patching and duplicating a board, which allows a user to read any arbitrary file on the system via duplicating a specially crafted block in Boards.
