EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
Jenkins Cadence vManager Plugin 4.0.0-282.v5096a_c2db_275 and earlier stores Verisium Manager vAPI keys unencrypted in job config.xml files on the Jenkins controller as part of its configuration.
These API keys can be viewed by users with Item/Extended Read permission or access to the Jenkins controller file system.
Cadence vManager Plugin 4.0.1-286.v9e25a_740b_a_48 stores Verisium Manager vAPI keys encrypted once affected job configurations are saved again.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.jenkins-ci.plugins:vmanager-plugin. 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.
Fix
Update org.jenkins-ci.plugins:vmanager-plugin to 4.0.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-x9hj-q7xv-fv4v is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
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.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-x9hj-q7xv-fv4v 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-x9hj-q7xv-fv4v. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-x9hj-q7xv-fv4v in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-x9hj-q7xv-fv4v across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
