What is GHSA-R2R8-36PQ-27CM?

GHSA-R2R8-36PQ-27CM is a high-severity security vulnerability in nzo/url-encryptor-bundle (composer), affecting versions >= 5.0.0, < 5.0.1. It is fixed in 5.0.1, 4.3.2.

Which versions of nzo/url-encryptor-bundle are affected by GHSA-R2R8-36PQ-27CM?

nzo/url-encryptor-bundle (composer) versions >= 5.0.0, < 5.0.1 is affected.

Is there a fix for GHSA-R2R8-36PQ-27CM?

Yes. GHSA-R2R8-36PQ-27CM is fixed in 5.0.1, 4.3.2. Upgrade to this version or later.

Is GHSA-R2R8-36PQ-27CM exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether GHSA-R2R8-36PQ-27CM 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-R2R8-36PQ-27CM 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

nzo/url-encryptor-bundle Insecure default secret key and IV allowing anyone to decrypt values

Versions of nzo/url-encryptor-bundle prior to 5.0.1 and 4.3.2 are affected by a security vulnerability related to the lack of mandatory key and IV requirements. By default, the bundle uses the aes-256-ctr algorithm, which is susceptible to malleability attacks, potentially leading to Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerabilities. Additionally, the reuse of keys enables users to decrypt and modify encrypted data if they can guess the plaintext of one ciphertext.

Impact

Affected versions

nzo/url-encryptor-bundle (>= 5.0.0, < 5.0.1) nzo/url-encryptor-bundle (>= 4.0.0, < 4.3.2)

Security releases

nzo/url-encryptor-bundle → 5.0.1 (composer) nzo/url-encryptor-bundle → 4.3.2 (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.
