Which packages are affected by GHSA-phjq-7xqp-2526?

GHSA-phjq-7xqp-2526 affects the following packages: org.sonatype.nexus.ci:nexus-jenkins-plugin (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-phjq-7xqp-2526?

Update org.sonatype.nexus.ci:nexus-jenkins-plugin to 3.18.1-01 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-phjq-7xqp-2526 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-phjq-7xqp-2526 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.sonatype.nexus.ci:nexus-jenkins-plugin. 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-phjq-7xqp-2526 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-phjq-7xqp-2526?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-phjq-7xqp-2526 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-phjq-7xqp-2526 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-phjq-7xqp-2526 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-phjq-7xqp-2526?

GHSA-phjq-7xqp-2526 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 36th 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-phjq-7xqp-2526?

GHSA-phjq-7xqp-2526 is classified as Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) (CWE-352). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-phjq-7xqp-2526 published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-phjq-7xqp-2526 was published on December 13, 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 Nexus Platform Plugin 3.18.0-03 and earlier does not perform permission checks in methods implementing form validation.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to an attacker-specified HTTP server using attacker-specified credentials IDs obtained through another method, capturing credentials stored in Jenkins.

Additionally, these form validation methods do not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

Nexus Platform Plugin 3.18.1-01 requires POST requests and Overall/Administer permission for the affected form validation methods.
