GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32
MEDIUMStored Cross-site Scripting vulnerability in Jenkins Dashboard View Plugin
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 Dashboard View Plugin 2.18 and earlier does not perform URL validation for the Iframe Portlet's Iframe source URL, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to configure views.
Dashboard View Plugin 2.18.1 performs URL validation for the Iframe Portlet’s Iframe source URL. Additionally, Dashboard View Plugin 2.18.1 sets the sandbox attribute for the iframe to restrict the included page.
In case of problems, the Java system property hudson.plugins.view.dashboard.core.IframePortlet.sandboxAttributeValue can be used to customize the sandbox attribute value. The Java system property hudson.plugins.view.dashboard.core.IframePortlet.doNotUseSandbox can be used to disable the sandbox completely.

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:dashboard-view. 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:dashboard-view to 2.18.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32 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-6fg4-36v7-xv32 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-6fg4-36v7-xv32. 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-6fg4-36v7-xv32 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32 across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
