How severe is GHSA-xrrq-rrgq-h89w?

No CVSS score has been assigned to GHSA-xrrq-rrgq-h89w yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-xrrq-rrgq-h89w?

GHSA-xrrq-rrgq-h89w affects the following packages: static-alloc (crates.io). Ecosystems affected: crates.io.

How do I fix GHSA-xrrq-rrgq-h89w?

Update static-alloc to 0.2.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-xrrq-rrgq-h89w is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-xrrq-rrgq-h89w in my crates.io dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for static-alloc, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-xrrq-rrgq-h89w 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-xrrq-rrgq-h89w?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-xrrq-rrgq-h89w can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-xrrq-rrgq-h89w actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-xrrq-rrgq-h89w 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-xrrq-rrgq-h89w published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-xrrq-rrgq-h89w was published on July 11, 2025 and was last updated on October 28, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

🦀static-alloc

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

Description

The affected function, MemBump::new(), would allocate memory without initializing it. Subsequently calling the created value's various allocmethods would then read and write the start of that memory as a Cell which isundefined behavior. Instead, it should zero initialize the start of the allocated memory.

For instance, some values could violate the internal invariants of the type and cause an assertion failure. Nevertheless, no deterministic read is known tocause further uninitialized memory to be exposed.

Affected downstream users that can not upgrade are advised to call MemBump::reset immediately after allocation to manually perform the missing write of the counter best-as-possible.

The flaw was corrected in commit d8d6a7d096d3aaafd963b356a8f1bbd8d26fd967 by zeroing the Cell at the start of the allocated memory.
