Which packages are affected by GHSA-jvjm-j945-8qwc?

GHSA-jvjm-j945-8qwc affects the following packages: org.jenkins-ci.plugins:visualworks-store (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-jvjm-j945-8qwc?

Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:visualworks-store to 1.1.4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-jvjm-j945-8qwc is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-jvjm-j945-8qwc in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:visualworks-store. 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-jvjm-j945-8qwc 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-jvjm-j945-8qwc?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-jvjm-j945-8qwc 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-jvjm-j945-8qwc actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-jvjm-j945-8qwc 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-jvjm-j945-8qwc?

GHSA-jvjm-j945-8qwc has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 1.1%, placing it in the 61th 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.

When was GHSA-jvjm-j945-8qwc published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-jvjm-j945-8qwc was published on May 24, 2022 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 Visualworks Store Plugin 1.1.3 and earlier does not configure its XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks.

This allows attackers with the ability to control the output of a script that run Visualworks with StoreCI, or able to control an agent process, to have Jenkins parse a crafted file that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery.

Jenkins Visualworks Store Plugin 1.1.4 disables external entity resolution for its XML parser.
