Which packages are affected by GHSA-v4cp-2q7v-hg9q?

GHSA-v4cp-2q7v-hg9q affects the following packages: remdex/livehelperchat (Packagist). Ecosystems affected: Packagist.

How do I fix GHSA-v4cp-2q7v-hg9q?

Update remdex/livehelperchat to 4.29 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-v4cp-2q7v-hg9q is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-v4cp-2q7v-hg9q in my Packagist dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for remdex/livehelperchat, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-v4cp-2q7v-hg9q 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-v4cp-2q7v-hg9q?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-v4cp-2q7v-hg9q can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-v4cp-2q7v-hg9q actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-v4cp-2q7v-hg9q 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-v4cp-2q7v-hg9q?

GHSA-v4cp-2q7v-hg9q has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 1.5%, placing it in the 73th 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-v4cp-2q7v-hg9q?

GHSA-v4cp-2q7v-hg9q is classified as OS Command Injection (CWE-78). 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-v4cp-2q7v-hg9q published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-v4cp-2q7v-hg9q was published on February 29, 2024 and was last updated on December 1, 2024. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Exploitation Status

Proof-of-concept exploit code exists

CISA’s SSVC triage found public proof-of-concept exploit code for this CVE, though no confirmed active exploitation.
CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.
