GHSA-6cr3-cm5h-8q96
MEDIUMGHSA-6cr3-cm5h-8q96 is a medium-severity (CVSS 4.3) Information Exposure vulnerability in org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-6cr3-cm5h-8q96 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Jenkins Exposes Sensitive Information via API URL

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
The API URL computer/(master)/api/xml in Jenkins before 2.3 and LTS before 1.651.2 allows remote authenticated users with extended read permission for the master node to obtain sensitive information about the global configuration via unspecified vectors.

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.main:jenkins-core. 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.main:jenkins-core to 2.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-6cr3-cm5h-8q96 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-6cr3-cm5h-8q96 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-6cr3-cm5h-8q96. 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-6cr3-cm5h-8q96 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-6cr3-cm5h-8q96 across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
