CVE-2022-25201
MEDIUMCVE-2022-25201 is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.2) CWE-862 vulnerability in com.checkmarx.jenkins:checkmarx. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2022-25201 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Missing permission checks in Jenkins Checkmarx Plugin allow capturing credentials
Real-World Exposure
com.checkmarx.jenkins:checkmarxReal-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
Checkmarx Plugin 2022.1.2 and earlier does not perform permission checks in several HTTP endpoints.
This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified webserver using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, capturing credentials stored in Jenkins.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| ☕Maven | com.checkmarx.jenkins:checkmarx | all versions | 2022.1.3 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.checkmarx.jenkins:checkmarx. 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 com.checkmarx.jenkins:checkmarx to 2022.1.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-25201 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-2022-25201 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-2022-25201. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2022-25201 in your dependencies?
O3 detects CVE-2022-25201 across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
