Which packages are affected by GHSA-wrhr-54p6-q97f?

GHSA-wrhr-54p6-q97f affects the following packages: org.jenkins-ci.plugins:active-directory (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix GHSA-wrhr-54p6-q97f?

Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:active-directory to 2.41.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-wrhr-54p6-q97f is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-wrhr-54p6-q97f in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:active-directory. 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-wrhr-54p6-q97f 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-wrhr-54p6-q97f?

O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-wrhr-54p6-q97f 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-wrhr-54p6-q97f actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-wrhr-54p6-q97f 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-wrhr-54p6-q97f?

GHSA-wrhr-54p6-q97f has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.2%, placing it in the 14th 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-wrhr-54p6-q97f?

GHSA-wrhr-54p6-q97f is classified as Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CWE-918). 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-wrhr-54p6-q97f published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-wrhr-54p6-q97f was published on May 27, 2026 and was last updated on July 1, 2026. 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 Active Directory Plugin 2.41 and earlier follows LDAP referrals from the configured Active Directory server by default. These can forward to an RMI URL that causes Jenkins to deserialize attacker-controlled data, resulting in Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the Jenkins controller if deserialization "gadgets" are available on the classpath.

This allows attackers able to control the configured Active Directory server, or able to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack, to execute code on the Jenkins controller.

Active Directory Plugin 2.41.1 no longer follows LDAP referrals by default.

Administrators unable to update to a fixed version can start Jenkins with the Java system property hudson.plugins.active_directory.referral.ignore set to true to mitigate the vulnerability.

Administrators of Jenkins controllers requiring following LDAP referrals can set the Java system property hudson.plugins.active_directory.referral.ignore to false to restore the previous behavior.
