How severe is GHSA-v98r-gjgc-m9pf?

GHSA-v98r-gjgc-m9pf has a CVSS score of 8/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-v98r-gjgc-m9pf?

GHSA-v98r-gjgc-m9pf affects the following packages: org.jenkins-ci.plugins:promoted-builds (Maven), org.jenkins-ci.plugins:promoted-builds (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-v98r-gjgc-m9pf?

Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:promoted-builds to 3.10.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-v98r-gjgc-m9pf is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-v98r-gjgc-m9pf in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:promoted-builds. 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-v98r-gjgc-m9pf 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-v98r-gjgc-m9pf?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-v98r-gjgc-m9pf 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-v98r-gjgc-m9pf actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-v98r-gjgc-m9pf 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-v98r-gjgc-m9pf?

GHSA-v98r-gjgc-m9pf has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.8%, placing it in the 50th 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-v98r-gjgc-m9pf?

GHSA-v98r-gjgc-m9pf is classified as Cross-site Scripting (XSS) (CWE-79). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-v98r-gjgc-m9pf published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-v98r-gjgc-m9pf was published on April 13, 2022 and was last updated on November 8, 2023. 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 promoted builds Plugin 873.v6149db_d64130 and earlier, except 3.10.1, does not escape the name and description of Promoted Build parameters on views displaying parameters, resulting in a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exploitable by attackers with Item/Configure permission.

Exploitation of these vulnerabilities requires that parameters are listed on another page, like the "Build With Parameters" and "Parameters" pages provided by Jenkins (core), and that those pages are not hardened to prevent exploitation. Jenkins (core) has prevented exploitation of vulnerabilities of this kind on the "Build With Parameters" and "Parameters" pages since 2.44 and LTS 2.32.2 as part of the SECURITY-353 / CVE-2017-2601 fix.
