Summary
Sulu: Used API Keys may be available via Admin API
Workarounds
Remove the field descriptor by patch the UserController.php File in Sulu Security Bundle.
Impact
The users endpoint controller exposes a project's apiKey field to the logged-in user, provided they have permission for that endpoint. This only has impact if a project itself uses that specific field, Sulu itself does nothing with it and has no authentication per apiKey in its core.

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-9M6V-8FXC-4R44? GHSA-9M6V-8FXC-4R44 is a low-severity security vulnerability in sulu/sulu (composer), affecting versions >= 3.0.0-alpha1, <= 3.0.5. It is fixed in 3.0.6, 2.6.23.
- Which versions of sulu/sulu are affected by GHSA-9M6V-8FXC-4R44? sulu/sulu (composer) versions >= 3.0.0-alpha1, <= 3.0.5 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-9M6V-8FXC-4R44? Yes. GHSA-9M6V-8FXC-4R44 is fixed in 3.0.6, 2.6.23. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is GHSA-9M6V-8FXC-4R44 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-9M6V-8FXC-4R44 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-9M6V-8FXC-4R44 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.
