How to Fix GHSA-cqff-fx2x-p86v
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Botframework connector dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
pip install botframework-connector>=4.7.2
pip install botframework-connector>=4.8.1
pip install botframework-connector>=4.9.3
pip install botframework-connector>=4.10.1
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
pip show botframework-connector
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Python environment is affected by GHSA-cqff-fx2x-p86v, inspect your installed packages using pip:
pip show botframework-connector
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Botframework connector in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.7.2), your application is affected.
Note: The pip show botframework-connector command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.
