No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2015-5320 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2015-5320?

CVE-2015-5320 affects the following packages: org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core (Maven), org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2015-5320?

Update org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core to 1.638 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2015-5320 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2015-5320 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2015-5320 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Assume what was exposed is already known: rotate any credential, token or key that the affected component could return, restrict the endpoint to callers that genuinely need it, and strip sensitive fields from responses and error output at the boundary rather than relying on the client not to read them.

Is CVE-2015-5320 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2015-5320 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2015-5320?

CVE-2015-5320 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 2.1%, placing it in the 82th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2015-5320?

CVE-2015-5320 is classified as Information Exposure (CWE-200). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2015-5320 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2015-5320 was published on May 13, 2022 and was last updated on March 13, 2025. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

Jenkins before 1.638 and LTS before 1.625.2 do not properly verify the shared secret used in JNLP slave connections, which allows remote attackers to connect as slaves and obtain sensitive information or possibly gain administrative access by leveraging knowledge of the name of a slave.

Workarounds

Fixing This On Your OS

If you run this on a Linux distribution, patch through your package manager against the distro's own security advisory below — it tracks the exact backported fix for your release, which can ship on a different timeline (and sometimes a different severity) than the upstream project.
