HIGHVapor vulnerable to denial of service in HTTP Range Request of FileMiddleware
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
Vapor is an HTTP web framework for Swift and middleware is a logic chain between the client and a Vapor route handler. FileMiddleware enables the serving of assets from the Public folder of a project to the client.
Vapor before 4.60.3 is vulnerable to denial of service due to an integer overflow when given invalid range headers while using FileMiddleware. This is patched in 4.60.3.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/vapor/vapor. 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 github.com/vapor/vapor to 4.60.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-vj2m-9f5j-mpr5 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-vj2m-9f5j-mpr5 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-vj2m-9f5j-mpr5. 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-vj2m-9f5j-mpr5 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-vj2m-9f5j-mpr5 across SwiftURL dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
