Which packages are affected by GHSA-q9cm-88jx-3vfw?

GHSA-q9cm-88jx-3vfw affects the following packages: org.jenkins-ci.plugins:oic-auth (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-q9cm-88jx-3vfw?

Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:oic-auth to 4.453.v4d7765c854f4 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-q9cm-88jx-3vfw is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-q9cm-88jx-3vfw in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:oic-auth. 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-q9cm-88jx-3vfw 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-q9cm-88jx-3vfw?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-q9cm-88jx-3vfw 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-q9cm-88jx-3vfw actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-q9cm-88jx-3vfw 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-q9cm-88jx-3vfw?

GHSA-q9cm-88jx-3vfw has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.5%, placing it in the 41th 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-q9cm-88jx-3vfw?

GHSA-q9cm-88jx-3vfw is classified as Incorrect Default Permissions (CWE-276). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was GHSA-q9cm-88jx-3vfw published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-q9cm-88jx-3vfw was published on January 22, 2025 and was last updated on March 19, 2025. 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

The Jenkins OpenId Connect Authentication Plugin 4.452.v2849b_d3945fa_ and earlier treats usernames as case-insensitive.

On a Jenkins instance configured with a case-sensitive OpenID Connect provider, this allows attackers to log in as any user by providing a username that differs only in letter case, potentially gaining administrator access to Jenkins.

OpenId Connect Authentication Plugin 4.453.v4d7765c854f4 introduces an advanced configuration option to manage username case sensitivity, with default to case-sensitive.
