GHSA-xffp-6w68-4775 has a CVSS score of 7.5/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-xffp-6w68-4775?

GHSA-xffp-6w68-4775 affects the following packages: zendframework/zendframework (Packagist). Ecosystems affected: Packagist.

How do I fix GHSA-xffp-6w68-4775?

Update zendframework/zendframework to 2.2.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-xffp-6w68-4775 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-xffp-6w68-4775 in my Packagist dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for zendframework/zendframework. 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-xffp-6w68-4775 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-xffp-6w68-4775?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-xffp-6w68-4775 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-xffp-6w68-4775 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-xffp-6w68-4775 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.

When was GHSA-xffp-6w68-4775 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-xffp-6w68-4775 was published on June 7, 2024 and was last updated on December 4, 2024. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

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

Description

The Zend\Http\PhpEnvironment\RemoteAddress class provides features around detecting the internet protocol (IP) address for an incoming proxied request via the X-Forwarded-For header, taking into account a provided list of trusted proxy server IPs. Prior to 2.2.5, the class was not taking into account whether or not the IP address contained in PHP's $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] was in the trusted proxy server list.

The IETF draft specification indicates that if $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] is not a trusted proxy, it must be considered the originating IP address, and the value of X-Forwarded-For must be disregarded.
