How to Fix GHSA-xr7q-jx4m-x55m

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

google.golang.org/grpc fixed: 1.64.1 
Upgrade google.golang.org/grpc to 1.64.1
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 google.golang.org/grpc

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-xr7q-jx4m-x55m, inspect your project dependencies for Google.golang.org/grpc:

inspect dependencies for google.golang.org/grpc

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Google.golang.org/grpc in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.64.1), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In Google.golang.org/grpc, 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

### Impact This issue represents a potential PII concern. If applications were printing or logging a context containing gRPC metadata, the affected versions will contain all the metadata, which may include private information. ### Patches The issue first appeared in 1.64.0 and is patched in 1.64.1 and 1.65.0 ### Workarounds If using an affected version and upgrading is not possible, ensuring you do not log or print contexts will avoid the problem.
