How severe is GHSA-2qh6-hhvv-m2ww?

GHSA-2qh6-hhvv-m2ww has a CVSS score of 3.3/10, rated LOW. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-2qh6-hhvv-m2ww?

GHSA-2qh6-hhvv-m2ww affects the following packages: org.jenkins-ci.plugins:http_request (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-2qh6-hhvv-m2ww?

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.

How do I detect GHSA-2qh6-hhvv-m2ww in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:http_request. 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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-2qh6-hhvv-m2ww if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-2qh6-hhvv-m2ww?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-2qh6-hhvv-m2ww is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-2qh6-hhvv-m2ww actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-2qh6-hhvv-m2ww 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 GHSA-2qh6-hhvv-m2ww?

GHSA-2qh6-hhvv-m2ww has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.7%, placing it in the 48th 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.

When was GHSA-2qh6-hhvv-m2ww published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-2qh6-hhvv-m2ww was published on July 28, 2022 and was last updated on February 16, 2024. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

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.
