Real-World Exposure

1 pkg affected
🐍inventree

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

Description

Impact

The "download image from remote URL" feature can be abused by a malicious actor to potentially extract information about server side resources. Submitting a crafted URL (in place of a valid image) can raise a server side error, which is reported back to the user.

This error message may contain sensitive information about the server side request, including information about the availability of the remote resource.

Patches

The solution to this vulnerability is to prevent the server from returning any specific information about the observed exception. Instead, a generic error message is returned to the client.

This patch has been applied to the upcoming 0.17.0 release, and also back-ported to the 0.16.5 stable release.

Workarounds

To avoid this issue with unpatched versions, the "download image from remote URL" feature can be disabled in InvenTree, preventing users from accessing this information.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for inventree, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update inventree to 0.16.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-vx3h-qwqw-r2wq is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.
