How severe is GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32?

GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32 has a CVSS score of 5.4/10, rated MEDIUM. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32?

GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32 affects the following packages: org.jenkins-ci.plugins:dashboard-view (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32?

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.

How do I detect GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32 in my Maven dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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.

Is GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32?

GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.8%, placing it in the 56th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32?

GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32 is classified as Cross-site Scripting (XSS) (CWE-79). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-6fg4-36v7-xv32 was published on March 16, 2022 and was last updated on February 16, 2024. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

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

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.
