Which packages are affected by GHSA-vq94-9pfv-ccqr?

GHSA-vq94-9pfv-ccqr affects the following packages: github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/v8 (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix GHSA-vq94-9pfv-ccqr?

Update github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/v8 to 8.0.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-vq94-9pfv-ccqr is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-vq94-9pfv-ccqr in my Go dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/v8. 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-vq94-9pfv-ccqr 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-vq94-9pfv-ccqr?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-vq94-9pfv-ccqr 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-vq94-9pfv-ccqr actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-vq94-9pfv-ccqr 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.
