Which packages are affected by GHSA-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9?

GHSA-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9 affects the following packages: github.com/grafana/grafana (Go), github.com/grafana/grafana (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix GHSA-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9?

Update github.com/grafana/grafana to 6.7.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9 in my Go dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/grafana/grafana. 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-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9 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-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9 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-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9 actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 5 known exploit references for GHSA-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9, including 1 documented proof-of-concept exploit on Exploit-DB and 4 in-the-wild exploitations observed on GitHub and other sources. Treat this as actively exploitable and prioritize patching immediately. All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9?

GHSA-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 99.9%, placing it in the 100th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. A score above 50% indicates significantly elevated exploitation risk — immediate patching is strongly recommended.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9?

GHSA-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9 is classified as Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CWE-918). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

Is there exploit tooling available for GHSA-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9?

A Nuclei detection template exists for GHSA-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9, meaning automated scanners can fingerprint it. Public exploit tooling significantly increases real-world risk — prioritize patching and ensure detection coverage. Exploit tooling should only ever be used in isolated, authorized testing environments.

When was GHSA-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-wc9w-wvq2-ffm9 was published on February 15, 2022 and was last updated on December 6, 2023. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

The avatar feature in Grafana (github.com/grafana/grafana/pkg/api/avatar) 3.0.1 through 7.0.1 has an SSRF Incorrect Access Control issue that allows remote code execution. This vulnerability allows any unauthenticated user/client to make Grafana send HTTP requests to any URL and return its result to the user/client. This can be used to gain information about the network that Grafana is running on.
