EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
Jenkins Credentials Plugin 1380.va_435002fa_924 and earlier, except 1371.1373.v4eb_fa_b_7161e9, does not redact encrypted values of credentials using the SecretBytes type (e.g., Certificate credentials, or Secret file credentials from Plain Credentials Plugin) when accessing item config.xml via REST API or CLI.
This allows attackers with Item/Extended Read permission to view encrypted SecretBytes values in credentials.
This issue is similar to SECURITY-266 in the 2016-05-11 security advisory, which applied to the Secret type used for inline secrets and some credentials types.
Credentials Plugin 1381.v2c3a_12074da_b_ redacts the encrypted values of credentials using the SecretBytes type in item config.xml files.
This fix is only effective on Jenkins 2.479 and newer, LTS 2.462.3 and newer. While Credentials Plugin 1381.v2c3a_12074da_b_ can be installed on Jenkins 2.463 through 2.478 (both inclusive), encrypted values of credentials using the SecretBytes type will not be redacted when accessing item config.xml via REST API or CLI.

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:credentials. 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:credentials to 1381.v2c3a or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-62jv-j4w7-5hh8 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-62jv-j4w7-5hh8 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-62jv-j4w7-5hh8. 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-62jv-j4w7-5hh8 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-62jv-j4w7-5hh8 across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
