GHSA-rvg5-f5fj-mxvg

MEDIUM

GHSA-rvg5-f5fj-mxvg is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.4) Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in org.jenkins-ci.plugins:credentials. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-rvg5-f5fj-mxvg is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Description

Jenkins Credentials Plugin 1111.v35a_307992395 and earlier, except 1087.1089.v2f1b_9a_b_040e4, 1074.1076.v39c30cecb_0e2, and 2.6.1.1, does not escape the name and description of Credentials parameters on views displaying parameters, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers with Item/Configure permission.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency
  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:credentials. 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.

  2. Fix

    Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:credentials to 2.6.1.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-rvg5-f5fj-mxvg is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.

  4. How O3 protects you

    O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-rvg5-f5fj-mxvg 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-rvg5-f5fj-mxvg. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
