GHSA-wp43-vprh-c3w5

MEDIUM

GHSA-wp43-vprh-c3w5 is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.5) CWE-284 vulnerability in github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-wp43-vprh-c3w5 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Go packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Mattermost versions 8.1.x before 8.1.11, 9.3.x before 9.3.3, 9.4.x before 9.4.4, and 9.5.x before 9.5.2 fail to authenticate the source of certain types of post actions, allowing an authenticated attacker to create posts as other users via a crafted post action.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8. 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.

  2. Fix

    Update github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 to 8.1.11 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-wp43-vprh-c3w5 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-wp43-vprh-c3w5 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-wp43-vprh-c3w5. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.

Is GHSA-wp43-vprh-c3w5 in your dependencies?

O3 detects GHSA-wp43-vprh-c3w5 across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
