GHSA-5r74-pgmq-92mm is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.9) remote code execution vulnerability in org.jenkins-ci.plugins:job-dsl. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-5r74-pgmq-92mm is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Script security sandbox bypass in Jenkins Job DSL Plugin
Real-World Exposure
org.jenkins-ci.plugins:job-dslReal-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
A sandbox bypass vulnerability exists in Jenkins Job DSL Plugin 1.71 and earlier in job-dsl-core/src/main/groovy/javaposse/jobdsl/dsl/AbstractDslScriptLoader.groovy, job-dsl-plugin/build.gradle, job-dsl-plugin/src/main/groovy/javaposse/jobdsl/plugin/JobDslWhitelist.groovy, job-dsl-plugin/src/main/groovy/javaposse/jobdsl/plugin/SandboxDslScriptLoader.groovy that allows attackers with control over Job DSL definitions to execute arbitrary code on the Jenkins master JVM.

Detection & 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:job-dsl. 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 org.jenkins-ci.plugins:job-dsl to 1.72 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-5r74-pgmq-92mm 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-5r74-pgmq-92mm 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-5r74-pgmq-92mm. 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-5r74-pgmq-92mm in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-5r74-pgmq-92mm across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
