Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
On November 17, 2022, an email was received from Bitly advising that the new link quota per free token is lowered to 50 per month (from its previous value of 1000 per month). As per the email, this change is effective on December 8, 2022. The new quota is so low as to not be useful. For this reason, the maintenance of this package is being discontinued, although the package should continue to function with the limited new quota.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-ggrh-grj3-vfvw Advisory: Package discontinued because Bitly lowered the free quota IDs: GHSA-ggrh-grj3-vfvw Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-ggrh-grj3-vfvw (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 response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - PyPI bitlyshortener: affected <= 0.6.3 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - `python -m pip show bitlyshortener`: prints the installed version. Run with the environment that serves production active. ## Supported action No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on bitlyshortener. - 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-ggrh-grj3-vfvw (OSV record GHSA-ggrh-grj3-vfvw lists affected ranges: PyPI bitlyshortener >=0 <=0.6.3) - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-ggrh-grj3-vfvw (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-ggrh-grj3-vfvw lists affected ranges: PyPI bitlyshortener >=0 <=0.6.3) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
