Real-World Exposure
org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core☕org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core☕org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-coreReal-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
Since Jenkins 2.320 and LTS 2.332.1, help icon tooltips no longer escape the feature name, effectively undoing the fix for SECURITY-1955.
This vulnerability is known to be exploitable by attackers with Job/Configure permission.
Jenkins 2.356, LTS 2.332.4 and LTS 2.346.1 addresses this vulnerability, the feature name in help icon tooltips is now escaped.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core to 2.356 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-62wf-24c4-8r76 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
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.
