GHSA-xh7v-965r-23f7
HIGHGHSA-xh7v-965r-23f7 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) Information Exposure vulnerability in github.com/runatlantis/atlantis. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-xh7v-965r-23f7 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Atlantis Exposes Service Version Publicly on /status API Endpoint
Blast Radius
github.com/runatlantis/atlantisReal-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
Summary
Atlantis publicly exposes detailed version information on its /status endpoint. This information disclosure could allow attackers to identify and target known vulnerabilities associated with the specific versions, potentially compromising the service's security posture.
Details
The /status endpoint in Atlantis returns not only a health check but also detailed version and build information. This disclosure violates the principle of minimizing exposed sensitive metadata and can be leveraged by adversaries to correlate the version information with public vulnerability databases, including CVE listings. Although Atlantis is a public repository maintained by an external team, reducing this exposure can lessen the overall risk of targeted attacks.
For example, the source code handling the /status endpoint exposes version details that allow one to infer software dependencies and system configurations. Best practices, including guidelines from the OWASP Top 10 and recommendations discussed in NIST SP 800-53, advocate for restricting such potentially exploitable information.
PoC
- Issue a GET request to
http://<atlantis-host>/statususing a tool likecurlor a web browser. - Note that the API response includes detailed version and build information.
- Verify that no authentication is required to access the endpoint, leading to public exposure.
- Cross-reference the disclosed version with public vulnerability databases (e.g., NVD) for likely vulnerabilities.
Impact
The vulnerability falls under the category of information disclosure. Attackers could use the version details to scan public vulnerability repositories and tailor attacks based on known flaws in that particular version. This could potentially escalate into a broader compromise if the underlying software has exploitable vulnerabilities. Therefore, the affected parties include any users or administrators who rely on Atlantis, as well as the maintainers who are responsible for keeping the service secure.
CVS Severity Assessment
Based on the current circumstances, this issue is assessed as CVS Severity: LOW. However, if the disclosed version is known to contain critical vulnerabilities, the severity rating could be re-evaluated to Medium. It is recommended to restrict this information to safeguarded internal channels to mitigate the risk of targeted attacks.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/runatlantis/atlantis. 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.
Remediation status
No patched version of github.com/runatlantis/atlantis has shipped for GHSA-xh7v-965r-23f7 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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-xh7v-965r-23f7 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-xh7v-965r-23f7. 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-xh7v-965r-23f7 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-xh7v-965r-23f7 across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
