How severe is CVE-2026-57297?

CVE-2026-57297 has a CVSS score of 4.3/10, rated MEDIUM. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

How do I fix CVE-2026-57297?

Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:contrast-continuous-application-security to 3.12 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-57297 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-57297 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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.

Is CVE-2026-57297 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-57297 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-2026-57297?

CVE-2026-57297 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 15th 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-2026-57297?

CVE-2026-57297 is classified as CWE-862 (CWE-862). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2026-57297 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-57297 was published on June 24, 2026 and was last updated on September 25, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

☕org.jenkins-ci.plugins:contrast-continuous-application-security

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 Contrast Continuous Application Security Plugin 3.11 and earlier does not perform a permission check in an HTTP endpoint that tests the connection to a Contrast TeamServer.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified URL using an attacker-specified username, API key, and service key.

Additionally, this HTTP endpoint does not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

Contrast Continuous Application Security Plugin 3.12 requires Overall/Administer permission and POST requests to test the connection to a Contrast TeamServer.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

Detect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:contrast-continuous-application-security, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:contrast-continuous-application-security to 3.12 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-57297 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.
