CVE-2022-25175 is a high-severity (CVSS 8.8) OS Command Injection vulnerability in org.jenkins-ci.plugins.workflow:workflow-multibranch. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2022-25175 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Jenkins Pipeline: Multibranch Plugin vulnerable to OS Command Injection
Real-World Exposure
org.jenkins-ci.plugins.workflow:workflow-multibranchReal-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 Pipeline: Multibranch Plugin 706.vd43c65dec013 and earlier uses distinct checkout directories per SCM for the readTrusted step, allowing attackers with Item/Configure permission to invoke arbitrary OS commands on the controller through crafted SCM contents.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| ☕Maven | org.jenkins-ci.plugins.workflow:workflow-multibranch | all versions | 707.v71c3f0a_6ccdb |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins.workflow:workflow-multibranch. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins.workflow:workflow-multibranch to 707.v71c3f0a_6ccdb or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-25175 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2022-25175 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2022-25175. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
