Summary
silverstripe/framework users inadvertently passing sensitive data to LoginAttempt
All user login attempts are logged in the database in the LoginAttempt table. However, this table contains information in plain text, and may possible contain sensitive information, such as user passwords mis-typed into the username field.
In order to address this a one-way hash is applied to the Email field before being stored.
Impact
GHSA-PH62-FV59-VF9H has a CVSS score of 6.5 (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 (3.5.6, 3.6.3, 4.0.1); 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.

- What is GHSA-PH62-FV59-VF9H? GHSA-PH62-FV59-VF9H is a medium-severity security vulnerability in silverstripe/framework (composer), affecting versions >= 3.5.0-rc1, < 3.5.6. It is fixed in 3.5.6, 3.6.3, 4.0.1.
- How severe is GHSA-PH62-FV59-VF9H? GHSA-PH62-FV59-VF9H has a CVSS score of 6.5 (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 silverstripe/framework are affected by GHSA-PH62-FV59-VF9H? silverstripe/framework (composer) versions >= 3.5.0-rc1, < 3.5.6 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-PH62-FV59-VF9H? Yes. GHSA-PH62-FV59-VF9H is fixed in 3.5.6, 3.6.3, 4.0.1. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is GHSA-PH62-FV59-VF9H exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-PH62-FV59-VF9H 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-PH62-FV59-VF9H 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.
