Summary
An open redirect vulnerability in bentoml/bentoml v1.3.9 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to redirect users to arbitrary websites via a specially crafted URL. This can be exploited for phishing attacks, malware distribution, and credential theft.
Impact
Untrusted input controls a URL used for redirection, which can forward users to attacker-controlled sites. Typical impact: phishing and credential harvesting via a trusted domain.
GHSA-564P-RX2Q-4C8V has a CVSS score of 6.1 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and user interaction required. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. No fixed version is listed yet, so configuration controls and monitoring matter more in the interim.

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.
Remediation advice
In the interim: Validate redirect destinations against an allowlist of permitted URLs or paths. Reject destinations that include an unexpected authority component.
Kodem Kai can prioritize this vulnerability in your dependency tree and generate a fix recommendation.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is GHSA-564P-RX2Q-4C8V? GHSA-564P-RX2Q-4C8V is a medium-severity open redirect vulnerability in bentoml (pip), affecting versions <= 1.3.9. No fixed version is listed yet. Untrusted input controls a URL used for redirection, which can forward users to attacker-controlled sites.
- How severe is GHSA-564P-RX2Q-4C8V? GHSA-564P-RX2Q-4C8V has a CVSS score of 6.1 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
- Which versions of bentoml are affected by GHSA-564P-RX2Q-4C8V? bentoml (pip) versions <= 1.3.9 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-564P-RX2Q-4C8V? No fixed version is listed for GHSA-564P-RX2Q-4C8V yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
- Is GHSA-564P-RX2Q-4C8V exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-564P-RX2Q-4C8V 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-564P-RX2Q-4C8V 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-564P-RX2Q-4C8V? No fixed version is listed yet. In the interim: Validate redirect destinations against an allowlist of permitted URLs or paths. Reject destinations that include an unexpected authority component.
