How severe is CVE-2024-28149?

CVE-2024-28149 has a CVSS score of 6.5/10, rated MEDIUM. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2024-28149?

CVE-2024-28149 affects the following packages: org.jenkins-ci.plugins:htmlpublisher (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2024-28149?

Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:htmlpublisher to 1.32.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-28149 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2024-28149 in my Maven dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate CVE-2024-28149 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.

Is CVE-2024-28149 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2024-28149 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-2024-28149?

CVE-2024-28149 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.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2024-28149?

☕org.jenkins-ci.plugins:htmlpublisher

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 HTML Publisher Plugin 1.16 through 1.32 (both inclusive) does not properly sanitize input, allowing attackers with Item/Configure permission to implement cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and to determine whether a path on the Jenkins controller file system exists.

Fixing This On Your OS

If you run this on a Linux distribution, patch through your package manager against the distro's own security advisory below — it tracks the exact backported fix for your release, which can ship on a different timeline (and sometimes a different severity) than the upstream project.

Red HatImportant

HTML Publisher Plugin 1.32.1 removes support for reports created before HTML Publisher Plugin 1.15. Those reports are retained on the disk, but may no longer be accessible through the Jenkins UI.
