GHSA-wqv4-9gr3-3qgh has a CVSS score of 4.3/10, rated MEDIUM. Review your exposure and patch according to your risk tolerance.

Which packages are affected by GHSA-wqv4-9gr3-3qgh?

GHSA-wqv4-9gr3-3qgh affects the following packages: org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core (Maven), org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-wqv4-9gr3-3qgh?

Update org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core to 2.73.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-wqv4-9gr3-3qgh is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-wqv4-9gr3-3qgh in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.main:jenkins-core. 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-wqv4-9gr3-3qgh 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-wqv4-9gr3-3qgh?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-wqv4-9gr3-3qgh 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-wqv4-9gr3-3qgh actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-wqv4-9gr3-3qgh 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-wqv4-9gr3-3qgh?

GHSA-wqv4-9gr3-3qgh has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 1.3%, placing it in the 68th 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-wqv4-9gr3-3qgh published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-wqv4-9gr3-3qgh 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

Jenkins 2.73.1 and earlier, 2.83 and earlier provides information about Jenkins user accounts which is generally available to anyone with Overall/Read permissions via the /user/(username)/api remote API. This included e.g. Jenkins users' email addresses if the Mailer Plugin is installed. The remote API now no longer includes information beyond the most basic (user ID and name) unless the user requesting it is a Jenkins administrator.
