CVE-2022-43428
MEDIUMCVE-2022-43428 is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.3) CWE-610 vulnerability in jenkins compuware topaz for total test. O3 Security detects and blocks CVE-2022-43428 exploitation at runtime via eBPF exploit-chain detection and L7 egress monitoring, even on unpatched systems.

EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
How urgent is this, really
CVE-2022-43428 plotted by exploitation likelihood (EPSS) against impact (CVSS). The shaded corner — EPSS 50%+ and CVSS 7.0+ — is where this CVE doesn't sit, though severity or exploitability alone can still warrant action.
Where this sits among everything scored
Of 356,453 CVEs with a current EPSS score, this one falls in the < 10% band (highlighted). Real counts from FIRST.org, not a sample — log-scaled since the landscape is heavily right-skewed.
Description
Jenkins Compuware Topaz for Total Test Plugin 2.4.8 and earlier implements an agent/controller message that does not limit where it can be executed, allowing attackers able to control agent processes to obtain the values of Java system properties from the Jenkins controller process.
Affected Products

Vendor / applianceDetect
Inventory every jenkins compuware topaz for total test deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above. Because the exploit targets the running system rather than your application code, also watch for exploitation at the network and runtime layer — O3 flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic even before a vulnerable build is confirmed.
Remediation status
No patch has shipped for CVE-2022-43428 yet — track the jenkins compuware topaz for total test advisory for a fixed release and apply the workarounds below in the meantime.
Mitigate without a patch
Cut exposure now: restrict the management/admin interface to trusted networks, segment the device, and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations and any WAF/IPS signature. O3's runtime protection blocks the exploit chain at execution, holding the line on unpatched or end-of-life systems until you can patch.
How O3 protects you
O3 detects and blocks CVE-2022-43428 exploitation at runtime: eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches the post-exploitation callback and severs the attacker's outbound channel.
Tailored to CVE-2022-43428. 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-2022-43428 being exploited in your environment?
O3's eBPF runtime sensors and L7 egress monitoring detect and block the CVE-2022-43428 exploit chain at execution — protecting unpatched and end-of-life systems until the vendor patch is applied.
