How do I fix GHSA-pmc5-74w3-78mw?

Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:config-file-provider to 3.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-pmc5-74w3-78mw is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-pmc5-74w3-78mw in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:config-file-provider, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate GHSA-pmc5-74w3-78mw if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.

Is GHSA-pmc5-74w3-78mw actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-pmc5-74w3-78mw 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-pmc5-74w3-78mw?

GHSA-pmc5-74w3-78mw has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.9%, placing it in the 59th 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.
