How to Fix GHSA-h2rp-8vpx-q9r4

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Github.com/cheqd/cheqd node dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node fixed: 3.1.8
Upgrade github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node to 3.1.8
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-h2rp-8vpx-q9r4, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/cheqd/cheqd node:

inspect dependencies for github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-1395: Dependency on Vulnerable Third-Party Component, where the product has a dependency on a third-party component that contains one or more known vulnerabilities. In Github.com/cheqd/cheqd node, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

# Description There have been two upstream security advisories and associated patches published under [ISA-2025-001](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/security/advisories/GHSA-4wf3-5qj9-368v) and [ISA-2025-002](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/security/advisories/GHSA-47ww-ff84-4jrg). **[ISA-2025-001](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/security/advisories/GHSA-4wf3-5qj9-368v)** affects the IBC-Go package., where non-deterministic JSON unmarshalling of IBC Acknowledgements can result in a chain halt. **[ISA-2025-002](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/security/advisories/GHSA-47ww-ff84-4jrg)** affects the Cosmos SDK package, where `x/group` can halt when erroring in `EndBlocker`. ### Impact If unaddressed, this could result in a chain halt. ### Patches Validators, full nodes, and IBC relayers should upgrade to [cheqd-node v3.1.8](https://github.com/cheqd/cheqd-node/releases/tag/v3.1.8). This upgrade does not require a software upgrade proposal on-chain and is meant to be non state-breaking.
