GHSA-hj36-v72x-cc6j
MEDIUMGHSA-hj36-v72x-cc6j is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.4) CWE-862 vulnerability in org.jenkins-ci.plugins:database. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-hj36-v72x-cc6j is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Missing permission checks in Jenkins Database Plugin
Blast Radius
org.jenkins-ci.plugins:databaseReal-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
A missing permission check in Jenkins database Plugin 1.6 and earlier allows attackers with Overall/Read access to Jenkins to connect to an attacker-specified database server using attacker-specified credentials.
Database Plugin 1.7 requires Overall/Administer permission for the affected form validation method.
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:database. 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:database to 1.7 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-hj36-v72x-cc6j 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-hj36-v72x-cc6j 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-hj36-v72x-cc6j. 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-hj36-v72x-cc6j in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-hj36-v72x-cc6j across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
