Real-World Exposure
org.jenkins-ci.plugins:assemblaReal-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 Assembla Plugin 1.4 and earlier does not configure its XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks when parsing responses from the configured Assembla server.
This allows attackers able to control the responses of the configured Assembla server to extract secrets from the Jenkins controller or perform server-side request forgery.
As of publication of this advisory, there is no fix.

assemblajenkinsDetection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:assembla, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Remediation status
No patched version of org.jenkins-ci.plugins:assembla has shipped for GHSA-2q27-6p2h-q6r3 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
Restrict outbound requests from the affected component to an allowlist of hosts, block access to link-local and internal address ranges at the network layer, and require authentication on internal services so a forged request cannot reach them unauthenticated.
