CVE-2023-32989 has a CVSS score of 8.8/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2023-32989?

CVE-2023-32989 affects the following packages: org.jenkins-ci.plugins:azure-vm-agents (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2023-32989?

Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:azure-vm-agents to 853.v4a or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2023-32989 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2023-32989 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:azure-vm-agents, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2023-32989 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-2023-32989 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2023-32989 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-2023-32989?

CVE-2023-32989 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 39th 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.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2023-32989?

CVE-2023-32989 is classified as Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) (CWE-352). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2023-32989 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2023-32989 was published on May 16, 2023 and was last updated on October 24, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-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 Azure VM Agents Plugin 852.v8d35f0960a_43 and earlier does not perform permission checks in several HTTP endpoints.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified Azure Cloud server using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method.

Additionally, these HTTP endpoints do not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

Azure VM Agents Plugin 853.v4a_1a_dd947520 requires POST requests and the appropriate permissions for the affected HTTP endpoints.
