GHSA-7rcw-fwfh-2h2g is a high-severity (CVSS 8.8) remote code execution vulnerability in org.jenkins-ci.plugins.workflow:workflow-cps-global-lib. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-7rcw-fwfh-2h2g is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Jenkins Pipeline: Deprecated Groovy Libraries Plugin Protection Mechanism Failure
Real-World Exposure
org.jenkins-ci.plugins.workflow:workflow-cps-global-libReal-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
Jenkins Pipeline: Deprecated Groovy Libraries Plugin 552.vd9cc05b8a2e1 and earlier uses the names of Pipeline libraries to create directories without canonicalization or sanitization.
This allows attackers with Item/Configure permission to execute arbitrary code in the context of the Jenkins controller JVM using specially crafted library names if a global Pipeline library is already configured.
Pipeline: Deprecated Groovy Libraries Plugin 561.va_ce0de3c2d69 sanitizes the names of Pipeline libraries when creating library directories.

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.workflow:workflow-cps-global-lib. 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.workflow:workflow-cps-global-lib to 561.va_ce0de3c2d69 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7rcw-fwfh-2h2g 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-7rcw-fwfh-2h2g 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-7rcw-fwfh-2h2g. 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-7rcw-fwfh-2h2g in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-7rcw-fwfh-2h2g across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
