Description
Jervis is a library for Job DSL plugin scripts and shared Jenkins pipeline libraries. Prior to 2.2, the salt is derived from sha256Sum(passphrase). Two encryption operations with the same password will have the same derived key. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.2.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for net.gleske:jervis, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update net.gleske:jervis to 2.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-68703 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2025-68703 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2025-68703. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
