GHSA-264w-xrr7-6qqg
HIGHGHSA-264w-xrr7-6qqg is a high-severity (CVSS 8.8) Improper Input Validation vulnerability in com.openshift.jenkins:openshift-pipeline. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-264w-xrr7-6qqg is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
RCE vulnerability in Jenkins OpenShift Pipeline Plugin
Blast Radius
com.openshift.jenkins:openshift-pipelineReal-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
OpenShift Pipeline Plugin 1.0.56 and earlier does not configure its YAML parser to prevent the instantiation of arbitrary types. This results in a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability exploitable by users able to provide YAML input files to OpenShift Pipeline Plugin’s build step. OpenShift Pipeline Plugin 1.0.57 configures its YAML parser to only instantiate safe types.
Affected Packages

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.openshift.jenkins:openshift-pipeline. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update com.openshift.jenkins:openshift-pipeline to 1.0.57 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-264w-xrr7-6qqg 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 pinpoints whether GHSA-264w-xrr7-6qqg is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-264w-xrr7-6qqg. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-264w-xrr7-6qqg in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-264w-xrr7-6qqg across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
