Which packages are affected by GHSA-r9jf-hf9x-7hrv?

GHSA-r9jf-hf9x-7hrv affects the following packages: org.jenkins-ci.plugins:script-security (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-r9jf-hf9x-7hrv?

Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:script-security to 1.37 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-r9jf-hf9x-7hrv is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-r9jf-hf9x-7hrv in my Maven dependencies?

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

How do I mitigate GHSA-r9jf-hf9x-7hrv 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.

Is GHSA-r9jf-hf9x-7hrv actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-r9jf-hf9x-7hrv 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-r9jf-hf9x-7hrv?

GHSA-r9jf-hf9x-7hrv has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 1.0%, 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-r9jf-hf9x-7hrv published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-r9jf-hf9x-7hrv was published on May 14, 2022 and was last updated on February 20, 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

In Jenkins Script Security Plugin version 1.36 and earlier, users with the ability to configure sandboxed Groovy scripts are able to use a type coercion feature in Groovy to create new File objects from strings. This allowed reading arbitrary files on the Jenkins master file system. Such a type coercion is now subject to sandbox protection and considered to be a call to the new File(String) constructor for the purpose of in-process script approval.
