What is GHSA-6WQP-7G94-F69J?

GHSA-6WQP-7G94-F69J is a medium-severity cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in sensiolabs/connect (composer), affecting versions < 4.2.3. It is fixed in 4.2.3. A victim's authenticated browser session is used to submit forged requests to an application that cannot distinguish them from legitimate ones.

How severe is GHSA-6WQP-7G94-F69J?

GHSA-6WQP-7G94-F69J 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 sensiolabs/connect are affected by GHSA-6WQP-7G94-F69J?

sensiolabs/connect (composer) versions < 4.2.3 is affected.

Is there a fix for GHSA-6WQP-7G94-F69J?

Yes. GHSA-6WQP-7G94-F69J is fixed in 4.2.3. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is GHSA-6WQP-7G94-F69J exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether GHSA-6WQP-7G94-F69J 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-6WQP-7G94-F69J 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.

Summary

sensiolabs/connect has a Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerability

Versions of sensiolabs/connect prior to 4.2.3 are affected by a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability due to the absence of the state parameter in OAuth requests. The lack of proper state parameter handling exposes applications to CSRF attacks during the OAuth authentication flow.

Impact

A victim's authenticated browser session is used to submit forged requests to an application that cannot distinguish them from legitimate ones. Typical impact: state-changing actions performed as the victim without their consent.

GHSA-6WQP-7G94-F69J 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. A fixed version is available (4.2.3); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Affected versions

sensiolabs/connect (< 4.2.3)

Security releases

sensiolabs/connect → 4.2.3 (composer)

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.
