GHSA-QVGG-R6RQ-VWFX is a low-severity security vulnerability in datadog/dd-trace (composer), affecting versions >= 0.30.0, < 0.30.2. It is fixed in 0.30.2.

Which versions of datadog/dd-trace are affected by GHSA-QVGG-R6RQ-VWFX?

datadog/dd-trace (composer) versions >= 0.30.0, < 0.30.2 is affected.

Is there a fix for GHSA-QVGG-R6RQ-VWFX?

Yes. GHSA-QVGG-R6RQ-VWFX is fixed in 0.30.2. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is GHSA-QVGG-R6RQ-VWFX exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether GHSA-QVGG-R6RQ-VWFX 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-QVGG-R6RQ-VWFX 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

datadog/dd-trace Circumvents open_basedir INI directive

datadog/dd-trace versions 0.30.0 prior to 0.30.2 are affected by a security and stability issue outlined in PR #579. This pull request ensures that the ddtrace.request_init_hook remains bound by the open_basedir INI directive, effectively addressing potential vulnerabilities related to open_basedir restrictions.
The update introduces a sandboxing mechanism to isolate the request init hook from errors or exceptions during execution, enhancing the library's stability and preventing adverse impacts on the main script.

Impact

Affected versions

datadog/dd-trace (>= 0.30.0, < 0.30.2)

Security releases

datadog/dd-trace → 0.30.2 (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.
