Summary
vantage6: Algorithm developer can edit another developer's algorithm that is pending / under review
Workarounds
No
Impact
Edit permission lacks ownership check, so another developer could alter metadata that is later trusted by nodes.
Worst they could do is update the image or image tag. If that is not noted, another image is approved than the one actually under review
The application does not correctly enforce access controls, allowing a principal to access resources or operations beyond their granted permissions. Typical impact: unauthorized data access or execution of privileged operations.

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-47W6-GWP4-W6VC? GHSA-47W6-GWP4-W6VC is a high-severity incorrect authorization vulnerability in vantage6 (pip), affecting versions <= 5.0.2. No fixed version is listed yet. The application does not correctly enforce access controls, allowing a principal to access resources or operations beyond their granted permissions.
- Which versions of vantage6 are affected by GHSA-47W6-GWP4-W6VC? vantage6 (pip) versions <= 5.0.2 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-47W6-GWP4-W6VC? No fixed version is listed for GHSA-47W6-GWP4-W6VC yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
- Is GHSA-47W6-GWP4-W6VC exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-47W6-GWP4-W6VC 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-47W6-GWP4-W6VC 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.
- How do I fix GHSA-47W6-GWP4-W6VC? No fixed version is listed yet. In the interim: Keep the dependency up to date. Audit access-control checks to ensure they are applied consistently and cannot be bypassed.
