What to do

Partial vendor fix. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check back for a fix.

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.

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/v7: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Go github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/v5: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Go github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/v3: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Go github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/v4: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Go github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/v6: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Go github.com/cosmos/ibc-go: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Go github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/v2: check the installed version with your package manager.

## 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 github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/v7, github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/v5, github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/v3, github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/v4, github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/v6, github.com/cosmos/ibc-go, github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/v2.
- 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.
