Description
aimeos/ai-admin-graphql is the Aimeos GraphQL API admin interface. Starting in version 2022.04.01 and prior to versions 2022.10.10, 2023.10.6, and 2024.04.6, an improper access control vulnerability allows an editor to modify and take over an admin account in the back end. Versions 2022.10.10, 2023.10.6, and 2024.04.6 fix this issue.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for aimeos/ai-admin-graphql. 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.
Fix
Update aimeos/ai-admin-graphql to 2022.10.10 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-vc7j-99jw-jrqm 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 pinpoints whether GHSA-vc7j-99jw-jrqm 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-vc7j-99jw-jrqm. 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-vc7j-99jw-jrqm in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-vc7j-99jw-jrqm across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
