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

Folder-based Authorization Strategy Plugin 1.3 and earlier does not escape the names of roles shown on the configuration form.

This results in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers with Overall/Administer permission.

Folder-based Authorization Strategy Plugin 1.4 escapes the names of roles shown on the configuration form.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

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

  2. Fix

    Update io.jenkins.plugins:folder-auth to 1.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-5vjc-qx43-r747 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
