Description

An improper authorization vulnerability exists in Jenkins Jira Plugin 3.0.1 and earlier in JiraSite.java that allows attackers with Overall/Read access to have Jenkins connect to an attacker-specified URL using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, capturing credentials stored in Jenkins. In version 3.0.2, this form validation method requires POST requests and Overall/Administer (for globally defined sites) or Item/Configure permissions (for sites defined for a folder).

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

  2. Fix

    Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:jira to 3.0.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-fpg6-xqj4-j7wf is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.
