How to Fix GHSA-w4x6-hh3x-wjrx

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

Gsemac.Net fixed: 0.38.2 
Upgrade Gsemac.Net to 0.38.2
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 Gsemac.Net

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-w4x6-hh3x-wjrx, inspect your project dependencies for Gsemac.Net:

inspect dependencies for Gsemac.Net

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Gsemac.Net in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.38.2), 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 General Security Weakness. In Gsemac.Net, 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

We have identified that this project contains an out-of-date version of the Public Suffix List (https://publicsuffix.org/). We are carrying out research to identify the potential impacts of using old versions of the Public Suffix List, and we intend to publish our results in academic conferences and journals. Our results will become publicly available after 21 days; this provides time to update your project with an up-to-date version of the Public Suffix List. GitHub repository: gsemac/Gsemac.Common Public Suffix List path: src/Gsemac.Net/Resources/public_suffix_list.dat The Public Suffix List is regularly updated (generally a few times per week), and to ensure that the correct privacy boundaries are maintained between websites, applications that use it should routinely fetch an updated copy. If new suffixes are added to the list, and an old list is then used, privacy boundaries will not be constructed correctly, allowing for data (e.g., cookies) to be set incorrectly, potentially harming privacy. There is further guidance on how the Public Suffix List should be used in ICANN’s “Advisory on the Use of Static TLD / Suffix Lists” at https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/sac-070-en.pdf. If you have any questions about our research, or about usage of the Public Suffix List, please reply via e-mail to [sm@smcquistin.uk](mailto:sm@smcquistin.uk).
