CVE-2022-43423 has a CVSS score of 4.3/10, rated MEDIUM. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2022-43423?

CVE-2022-43423 affects the following packages: com.compuware.jenkins:compuware-scm-downloader (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2022-43423?

Update com.compuware.jenkins:compuware-scm-downloader to 2.0.13 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-43423 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2022-43423 in my Maven dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate CVE-2022-43423 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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.

Is CVE-2022-43423 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2022-43423 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-2022-43423?

CVE-2022-43423 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.7%, placing it in the 54th 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.

Description

BMC Compuware Source Code Download for Endevor, PDS, and ISPW Plugin 2.0.12 and earlier implements an agent/controller message that does not limit where it can be executed.

It allows attackers able to control agent processes to obtain the values of Java system properties from the Jenkins controller process.

This vulnerability is only exploitable in Jenkins 2.318 and earlier, LTS 2.303.2 and earlier. See the LTS upgrade guide.
