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

Jenkins Bumblebee HP ALM Plugin 4.1.5 and earlier stores credentials unencrypted in its global configuration file com.agiletestware.bumblebee.BumblebeeGlobalConfig.xml on the Jenkins controller as part of its configuration.

These credentials can be viewed by users with access to the Jenkins controller file system.

Jenkins Bumblebee HP ALM Plugin 4.1.6 stores credentials encrypted once its configuration is saved again.

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:bumblebee, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:bumblebee to 4.1.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-8v72-qr3h-c6rv is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.
