How severe is GHSA-vgxh-x8jv-hmff?

GHSA-vgxh-x8jv-hmff has a CVSS score of 7.5/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-vgxh-x8jv-hmff?

GHSA-vgxh-x8jv-hmff affects the following packages: silverstripe/framework (Packagist), silverstripe/framework (Packagist). Ecosystems affected: Packagist.

How do I fix GHSA-vgxh-x8jv-hmff?

Update silverstripe/framework to 4.0.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-vgxh-x8jv-hmff is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-vgxh-x8jv-hmff in my Packagist dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for silverstripe/framework. 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-vgxh-x8jv-hmff 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-vgxh-x8jv-hmff?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-vgxh-x8jv-hmff 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-vgxh-x8jv-hmff actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-vgxh-x8jv-hmff 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.

When was GHSA-vgxh-x8jv-hmff published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-vgxh-x8jv-hmff was published on May 27, 2024 and was last updated on December 2, 2024. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

There is a vulnerability whereby arbitrary global functions may be executed if malicious user input is passed through to in the second argument of ViewableData::renderWith. This argument resolves associative arrays as template placeholders. This exploit requires that user code has been written which makes use of the second argument in renderWith and where user input is passed directly as a value in an associative array without sanitisation such as Convert::raw2xml().

ViewableData::customise is not vulnerable.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

Detect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for silverstripe/framework. 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 silverstripe/framework to 4.0.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-vgxh-x8jv-hmff 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.
