Summary
eZ Platform User data disclosure
In eZ Platform v2.3.x it is possible to bypass permission checks in a particular case. This means user data such as name and email (but not passwords or password hashes) can be read by unauthenticated users. This affects only v2.3.x. If you use v2.2.x or older you are not affected.
To install, use Composer to update "ezsystems/repository-forms" to the "Resolving versions" mentioned above, or apply this patch manually:

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is GHSA-3G43-XFRW-PV5M? GHSA-3G43-XFRW-PV5M is a high-severity security vulnerability in ezsystems/repository-forms (composer), affecting versions >= 2.3.0, < 2.3.2.1. It is fixed in 2.3.2.1.
- Which versions of ezsystems/repository-forms are affected by GHSA-3G43-XFRW-PV5M? ezsystems/repository-forms (composer) versions >= 2.3.0, < 2.3.2.1 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-3G43-XFRW-PV5M? Yes. GHSA-3G43-XFRW-PV5M is fixed in 2.3.2.1. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is GHSA-3G43-XFRW-PV5M exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-3G43-XFRW-PV5M is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether GHSA-3G43-XFRW-PV5M is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
