Which packages are affected by GHSA-wwhj-pw6h-f8hw?

GHSA-wwhj-pw6h-f8hw affects the following packages: github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go), github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go), github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go). Ecosystems affected: Go.

How do I fix GHSA-wwhj-pw6h-f8hw?

Update github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 to 10.5.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-wwhj-pw6h-f8hw is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-wwhj-pw6h-f8hw in my Go dependencies?

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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-wwhj-pw6h-f8hw 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-wwhj-pw6h-f8hw?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-wwhj-pw6h-f8hw 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-wwhj-pw6h-f8hw actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-wwhj-pw6h-f8hw yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-wwhj-pw6h-f8hw?

GHSA-wwhj-pw6h-f8hw has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 11th 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. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-wwhj-pw6h-f8hw?

GHSA-wwhj-pw6h-f8hw is classified as CWE-863 (CWE-863). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-wwhj-pw6h-f8hw published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-wwhj-pw6h-f8hw was published on April 14, 2025 and was last updated on February 4, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Mattermost versions 10.5.x <= 10.5.1, 9.11.x <= 9.11.9 fail to check if a file has been deleted when creating a bookmark which allows an attacker who knows the IDs of deleted files to obtain metadata of the files via bookmark creation.
