Server crash if running Python 3.10 w/ Sanic 20.12

GHSA-7p79-6x2v-5h88

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (sanic 20.12.6), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-7p79-6x2v-5h88

Advisory: Server crash if running Python 3.10 w/ Sanic 20.12
IDs: GHSA-7p79-6x2v-5h88
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-7p79-6x2v-5h88 (revision 2, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:08 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: sanic 20.12.6. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- PyPI sanic: affected >= 0.1.7, < 20.12.6; fixed in 20.12.6

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `python -m pip show sanic`: prints the installed version. Run with the environment that serves production active.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on sanic.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-7p79-6x2v-5h88 (OSV record GHSA-7p79-6x2v-5h88 lists affected ranges: PyPI sanic >=0.1.7 <20.12.6 (fixed))
