GHSA-wp3j-gv53-4pg8
HIGHGHSA-wp3j-gv53-4pg8 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.8) remote code execution vulnerability in fs-git. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-wp3j-gv53-4pg8 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

fs-gitnpmDescription
fs-git is a file system like api for git repository. The fs-git version 1.0.1 module relies on child_process.exec, however, the buildCommand method used to construct exec strings does not properly sanitize data and is vulnerable to command injection across all methods that use it and call exec.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 📦npm | fs-git | all versions | 1.0.2 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for fs-git. 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 fs-git to 1.0.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-wp3j-gv53-4pg8 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-wp3j-gv53-4pg8 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-wp3j-gv53-4pg8. 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-wp3j-gv53-4pg8 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-wp3j-gv53-4pg8 across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
