Which versions of shamir are affected by GHSA-978J-88F3-P5J3?

shamir (rust) versions < 2.0.0 is affected.

Is there a fix for GHSA-978J-88F3-P5J3?

Yes. GHSA-978J-88F3-P5J3 is fixed in 2.0.0. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is GHSA-978J-88F3-P5J3 exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether GHSA-978J-88F3-P5J3 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-978J-88F3-P5J3 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

Threshold value is ignored (all shares are n=3)

Affected versions of this crate did not properly calculate secret shares requirements.

This reduces the security of the algorithm by restricting the crate to always
using a threshold value of three, rather than a configurable limit.

The flaw was corrected by correctly configuring the threshold.

Impact

Affected versions

shamir (< 2.0.0)

Security releases

shamir → 2.0.0 (rust)

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.
