GHSA-98m4-m2c3-qxgq
MEDIUMGHSA-98m4-m2c3-qxgq is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.5) CWE-668 vulnerability in org.jenkins-ci.plugins:jira. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-98m4-m2c3-qxgq is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Jenkins JIRA Plugin allows users to select and use credentials with System scope
Blast Radius
org.jenkins-ci.plugins:jiraReal-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 JIRA Plugin 3.0.10 and earlier does not declare the correct (folder) scope for per-folder Jira site definitions, allowing users to select and use credentials with System scope. Jira Plugin 3.0.11 defines the appropriate folder context for credential lookup. As a side effect, existing per-folder Jira sites may lose access to already configured System-scoped credentials, as if no credential was specified in the first place.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |

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:jira. 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:jira to 3.0.11 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-98m4-m2c3-qxgq 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-98m4-m2c3-qxgq 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-98m4-m2c3-qxgq. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
