Real-World Exposure
org.jvnet.hudson.plugins:sitemonitorReal-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 SiteMonitor Plugin unconditionally disables SSL/TLS certificate validation for the entire Jenkins controller JVM.
SiteMonitor Plugin no longer does that. Instead, it now has an opt-in option to ignore SSL/TLS errors for each site check individually.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jvnet.hudson.plugins:sitemonitor, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update org.jvnet.hudson.plugins:sitemonitor to 0.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-23c2-w636-5rhm 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.
