GHSA-VH7Q-J8P5-2H4H

silverstripe/framework sends passwords back to browsers under some circumstances

Under some circumstances a form may populate a PasswordField with submitted data, reflecting submitted data back to a user. The user will only see their own submissions for password data, which is not considered best practice. We are not aware of data leaks to other users, devices or sessions.

GHSA-VH7Q-J8P5-2H4H has a CVSS score of 3.5 (Low). 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 (3.7.0, 4.0.4, 4.1.1); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

1. What is GHSA-VH7Q-J8P5-2H4H? GHSA-VH7Q-J8P5-2H4H is a low-severity security vulnerability in silverstripe/framework (composer), affecting versions >= 3.5.5-rc1, < 3.7.0. It is fixed in 3.7.0, 4.0.4, 4.1.1.
2. How severe is GHSA-VH7Q-J8P5-2H4H? GHSA-VH7Q-J8P5-2H4H has a CVSS score of 3.5 (Low). 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.
3. Which versions of silverstripe/framework are affected by GHSA-VH7Q-J8P5-2H4H? silverstripe/framework (composer) versions >= 3.5.5-rc1, < 3.7.0 is affected.
4. Is there a fix for GHSA-VH7Q-J8P5-2H4H? Yes. GHSA-VH7Q-J8P5-2H4H is fixed in 3.7.0, 4.0.4, 4.1.1. Upgrade to this version or later.
5. Is GHSA-VH7Q-J8P5-2H4H exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-VH7Q-J8P5-2H4H 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.

6. What actually determines whether GHSA-VH7Q-J8P5-2H4H 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.
7. How do I fix GHSA-VH7Q-J8P5-2H4H?
   • Upgrade silverstripe/framework to 3.7.0 or later
   • Upgrade silverstripe/framework to 4.0.4 or later
   • Upgrade silverstripe/framework to 4.1.1 or later
