Description

An XML external entity (XXE) processing vulnerability exists in Jenkins Job Import Plugin 2.1 and earlier in src/main/java/org/jenkins/ci/plugins/jobimport/client/RestApiClient.java that allows attackers with the ability to control the HTTP server (Jenkins) queried in preparation of job import to read arbitrary files, perform a denial of service attack, etc.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

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

  2. Fix

    Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:job-import-plugin to 3.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-882r-r8fw-p538 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Cap what an attacker can consume: apply request size, rate and timeout limits in front of the affected component, and run it with memory and CPU limits so exhaustion degrades one worker rather than the whole service.
