Workarounds
There are no known workarounds at this time.
Impact
The browser renders the resulting HTML when opening a direct link to an HTML file via lakeFS. Any JavaScript within that page is executed within the context of the domain lakeFS is running in.
An attacker can inject a malicious script inline, download resources from another domain, or make arbitrary HTTP requests. This would allow the attacker to send information to a random domain or carry out lakeFS operations while impersonating the victim.
Note that to carry out this attack, an attacker must already have access to upload the malicious HTML file to one or more repositories. It also depends on the victim receiving and opening the link to the malicious HTML file.
GHSA-9PHH-R37V-34WH has a CVSS score of 5.8 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, low 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 (0.106.0); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

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
This is fixed in lakeFS version 0.106.0
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is GHSA-9PHH-R37V-34WH? GHSA-9PHH-R37V-34WH is a medium-severity security vulnerability in github.com/treeverse/lakefs (go), affecting versions < 0.106.0. It is fixed in 0.106.0.
- How severe is GHSA-9PHH-R37V-34WH? GHSA-9PHH-R37V-34WH has a CVSS score of 5.8 (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 github.com/treeverse/lakefs are affected by GHSA-9PHH-R37V-34WH? github.com/treeverse/lakefs (go) versions < 0.106.0 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-9PHH-R37V-34WH? Yes. GHSA-9PHH-R37V-34WH is fixed in 0.106.0. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is GHSA-9PHH-R37V-34WH exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-9PHH-R37V-34WH 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-9PHH-R37V-34WH 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.
