How do I fix GHSA-x3r6-ccvq-cf5v?

Update anki to 24.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-x3r6-ccvq-cf5v is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-x3r6-ccvq-cf5v in my PyPI dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for anki. 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-x3r6-ccvq-cf5v 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-x3r6-ccvq-cf5v?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-x3r6-ccvq-cf5v 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-x3r6-ccvq-cf5v actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 1 known exploit references for GHSA-x3r6-ccvq-cf5v, including 1 in-the-wild exploitation observed on GitHub and other sources. Treat this as actively exploitable and prioritize patching immediately. All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-x3r6-ccvq-cf5v?

GHSA-x3r6-ccvq-cf5v has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 10.8%, placing it in the 95th percentile of all CVEs.

Description

An vulnerability in the handling of Latex exists in Ankitects Anki 24.04. When Latex is sanitized to prevent unsafe commands, the verbatim package, which comes installed by default in many Latex distributions, has been overlooked. A specially crafted flashcard can lead to an arbitrary file read. An attacker can share a flashcard to trigger this vulnerability.
