MEDIUMGHSA-969g-rq57-c79h is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.8) CWE-863 vulnerability in io.jenkins.plugins:folder-auth. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-969g-rq57-c79h is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Disabled permissions can be granted by Folder-based in Jenkins Authorization Strategy Plugin
Real-World Exposure
io.jenkins.plugins:folder-authReal-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 Folder-based Authorization Strategy Plugin 217.vd5b_18537403e and earlier does not verify that permissions configured to be granted are enabled, potentially allowing users formerly granted (typically optional permissions, like Overall/Manage) to access functionality they're no longer entitled to.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for io.jenkins.plugins:folder-auth. 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.
Remediation status
No patched version of io.jenkins.plugins:folder-auth has shipped for GHSA-969g-rq57-c79h yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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-969g-rq57-c79h 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-969g-rq57-c79h. 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-969g-rq57-c79h in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-969g-rq57-c79h across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
