GHSA-w9mp-p2wp-2xf7
MEDIUMGHSA-w9mp-p2wp-2xf7 is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.3) CWE-552 vulnerability in org.apache.tapestry:tapestry-core. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-w9mp-p2wp-2xf7 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Improper file downloads in Apache Tapestry
Real-World Exposure
org.apache.tapestry:tapestry-coreReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
In Apache Tapestry from 5.4.0 to 5.5.0, crafting specific URLs, an attacker can download files inside the WEB-INF folder of the WAR being run.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| ☕Maven | org.apache.tapestry:tapestry-core | ≥ 5.4.0&&< 5.6.0 | 5.6.0 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.apache.tapestry:tapestry-core. 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 org.apache.tapestry:tapestry-core to 5.6.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-w9mp-p2wp-2xf7 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-w9mp-p2wp-2xf7 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-w9mp-p2wp-2xf7. 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-w9mp-p2wp-2xf7 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-w9mp-p2wp-2xf7 across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
