CVE-2023-50767 has a CVSS score of 5.4/10, rated MEDIUM. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2023-50767?

CVE-2023-50767 affects the following packages: org.sonatype.nexus.ci:nexus-jenkins-plugin (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2023-50767?

Update org.sonatype.nexus.ci:nexus-jenkins-plugin to 3.18.1-01 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2023-50767 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2023-50767 in my Maven dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate CVE-2023-50767 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Restrict outbound requests from the affected component to an allowlist of hosts, block access to link-local and internal address ranges at the network layer, and require authentication on internal services so a forged request cannot reach them unauthenticated.

Is CVE-2023-50767 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2023-50767 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-2023-50767?

CVE-2023-50767 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 38th 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-2023-50767?

Description

Jenkins Nexus Platform Plugin 3.18.0-03 and earlier does not perform permission checks in methods implementing form validation.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to send an HTTP request to an attacker-specified URL and parse the response as XML.

Additionally, the plugin does not configure its XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks, so attackers can have Jenkins parse a crafted XML response that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery.

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

Nexus Platform Plugin 3.18.1-01 configures its XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks.

Additionally, POST requests and Overall/Administer permission are required for the affected HTTP endpoints.
