Which packages are affected by GHSA-9ggw-h9mf-4jh7?

GHSA-9ggw-h9mf-4jh7 affects the following packages: org.jenkins-ci.plugins:electricflow (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-9ggw-h9mf-4jh7?

Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:electricflow to 1.1.33 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-9ggw-h9mf-4jh7 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-9ggw-h9mf-4jh7 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:electricflow. 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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-9ggw-h9mf-4jh7 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-9ggw-h9mf-4jh7?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-9ggw-h9mf-4jh7 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is GHSA-9ggw-h9mf-4jh7 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-9ggw-h9mf-4jh7 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-9ggw-h9mf-4jh7?

GHSA-9ggw-h9mf-4jh7 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 1.2%, placing it in the 63th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-9ggw-h9mf-4jh7?

GHSA-9ggw-h9mf-4jh7 is classified as CWE-59 (CWE-59). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-9ggw-h9mf-4jh7 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-9ggw-h9mf-4jh7 was published on October 25, 2023 and was last updated on February 16, 2024. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

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 CloudBees CD Plugin temporarily copies files from an agent workspace to the controller in preparation for publishing them in the 'CloudBees CD - Publish Artifact' post-build step.

CloudBees CD Plugin 1.1.32 and earlier follows symbolic links to locations outside of the temporary directory on the controller when collecting the list of files to publish.

This allows attackers able to configure jobs to publish arbitrary files from the Jenkins controller file system to the previously configured CloudBees CD server.

CloudBees CD Plugin 1.1.33 ensures that only files located within the expected directory are published.
