Exploitation Status
No confirmed exploitation observed yet
- CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
- CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

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.
How urgent is this, really
GHSA-wg2q-39h6-66x9 plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 371,625 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.

Description
Summary
The multipart upload filename fix splits on the path separator but never rejects dot-dot, allowing a write outside the served tree.
Finding (Medium): upload filename escapes the served tree (residual of CVE-2026-35393)
The multipart filename fix (updown.go lines 135-136) splits on the path separator but never rejects "..". Uploading with filename=".." results in os.Create against the parent of the upload folder with a trailing marker character, outside the served tree, and the subsequent failed rename leaves that file behind. Verified: a file containing ESCAPED_WRITE_PROOF was written outside the webroot, unauthenticated, with the default configuration. Not claimed: a Windows-specific variant (Go's Part.FileName() already applies filepath.Base).
Suggested fixes
- Reject any upload filename that is "..", is empty after sanitisation, or resolves outside the upload folder; validate the final resolved destination rather than only transforming the input.
Tooling
AI assistance was used while investigating. The finding was reproduced against a running server on loopback.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for goshs.de/goshs/v2. 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 goshs.de/goshs/v2 to 2.1.5-0.20260727065949-f3ef599e4091 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-wg2q-39h6-66x9 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-wg2q-39h6-66x9 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-wg2q-39h6-66x9. 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-wg2q-39h6-66x9 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-wg2q-39h6-66x9 across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
