GHSA-ph74-8rgx-64c5 is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.4) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in org.jenkins-ci.plugins:junit. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-ph74-8rgx-64c5 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Cross-site Scripting in Jenkins JUnit Plugin
Real-World Exposure
org.jenkins-ci.plugins:junitReal-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 JUnit Plugin 1166.va_436e268e972 and earlier does not escape test case class names in JavaScript expressions, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers able to control test case class names in the JUnit resources processed by the plugin.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| ☕Maven | org.jenkins-ci.plugins:junit | all versions | 1166.1168.vd6b_8042a_06de |
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:junit. 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:junit to 1166.1168.vd6b_8042a_06de or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-ph74-8rgx-64c5 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-ph74-8rgx-64c5 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-ph74-8rgx-64c5. 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-ph74-8rgx-64c5 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-ph74-8rgx-64c5 across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
