How to Fix CVE-2023-46402

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Github.com/whilp/git urls 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/whilp/git-urls fixed: Latest secure release 
Upgrade github.com/whilp/git-urls to Latest secure release
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/whilp/git-urls

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2023-46402, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/whilp/git urls:

inspect dependencies for github.com/whilp/git-urls

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/whilp/git urls in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

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

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
