Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins:kubernetes-credentials-provider, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update com.cloudbees.jenkins.plugins:kubernetes-credentials-provider to 1.209.v862c6e5fb or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2023-24425 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
