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

HTTP Request Plugin 1.15 and earlier stores HTTP Request passwords unencrypted in its global configuration file jenkins.plugins.http_request.HttpRequest.xml on the Jenkins controller as part of its configuration when using (deprecated) Basic/Digest Authentication. These passwords can be viewed by users with access to the Jenkins controller file system.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:http_request, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:http_request to 1.16 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-2qh6-hhvv-m2ww is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.
