Description
Impact
What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?
All users of Nautobot versions prior to 2.4.10 or prior to 1.6.32 are potentially affected.
Due to insufficient security configuration of the Jinja2 templating feature used in computed fields, custom links, etc. in Nautobot:
- A malicious user could configure this feature set in ways that could expose the value of Secrets defined in Nautobot when the templated content is rendered.
- A malicious user could configure this feature set in ways that could call Python APIs to modify data within Nautobot when the templated content is rendered, bypassing the object permissions assigned to the viewing user.
Patches
Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?
Nautobot versions 1.6.32 and 2.4.10 will include fixes for the vulnerability.
Workarounds
Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?
The vulnerability can be partially mitigated by configuring object permissions appropriately to limit the below actions to only trusted users:
extras.add_secretextras.change_secretextras.view_secretextras.add_computedfieldextras.change_computedfieldextras.add_customlinkextras.change_customlinkextras.add_jobbuttonextras.change_jobbutton

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for nautobot, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update nautobot to 1.6.32 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-wjw6-95h5-4jpx 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 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-wjw6-95h5-4jpx can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to GHSA-wjw6-95h5-4jpx. 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-wjw6-95h5-4jpx in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds GHSA-wjw6-95h5-4jpx across PyPI dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
