Which packages are affected by GHSA-vc4f-2g7f-pmqr?

GHSA-vc4f-2g7f-pmqr affects the following packages: munkireport/comment (Packagist). Ecosystems affected: Packagist.

How do I fix GHSA-vc4f-2g7f-pmqr?

Update munkireport/comment to 4.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-vc4f-2g7f-pmqr is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-vc4f-2g7f-pmqr in my Packagist dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for munkireport/comment. 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-vc4f-2g7f-pmqr 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-vc4f-2g7f-pmqr?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-vc4f-2g7f-pmqr 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-vc4f-2g7f-pmqr actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-vc4f-2g7f-pmqr 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-vc4f-2g7f-pmqr?

GHSA-vc4f-2g7f-pmqr has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.9%, placing it in the 56th 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.

When was GHSA-vc4f-2g7f-pmqr published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-vc4f-2g7f-pmqr was published on May 24, 2022 and was last updated on November 20, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.
